But speaking to NDC members in the Dade Kotopon Constituency, Sylvester Mensah urged the members to continue to work for the party saying the upcoming election is a critical one for the NDC.<\/p>\n

He said they should not relent on their efforts in ensuring that the NDC is retained in 2016.<\/p>\n

He explained to the NDC members that the freezing of his bank account was only a procedure and not an indictment.<\/p>\n
