Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Mr. Sosu said his decision to accept the results is in the best \u201cinterest of the unity of the party [NDC].\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have just chosen the path of peace, it is a choice we have made and it is in the interest of the NDC. Don\u2019t forget that in the just past election, I won election in Damfa, Oyarifa, Pantang and Nkwantanang and these are strong holds of NDC. All the other parts of the Madina are swing during general elections.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that \u201cif we are \u00a0going to stand by our position and litigate…I believe that ahead of 2016, it can be very damaging \u00a0to our party in Madina.\u201d<\/p>\n Lawyer Sosu added that the NDC still remains \u201cthe vehicle through which we want to serve the people. When we endanger and destroy that vehicle within Madina what then is left for us?
