The election committee said it will take the matter up, discuss it, and take a decision. We took this discussion as far as the national executive committee level and they took into consideration a lot of issues before taking this decision\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In that regard, Mr. Okudzeto called on Richard Nyamah to abort his intended decision to seek a court injunction since his actions could attract a disciplinary action against him.<\/p>\n<p>But in a rebuttal, Mr. Nyamah stated that he would advise himself based on the decision of the election committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have put a petition before the committee and I am sure they will consider it.
