A leading member of the party, Mr Yaw Osafo Maafo, urged supporters of the party in the Eastern Region to bury their differences and vote massivel= y for Nana Akufo-Addo. The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Wugon, Mrs Frema Osei- Opare, sai= d the party would settle all disputes and misunderstanding among members and supporters in all the constituencies before the primaries would be held.
