The incumbent National Democratic Congress, NDC, has described as a blatant lie, allegations that it masterminded the stealing of the counter-petition booklet against the\u00a0release of the Montie 3, from the premises of Progressive People\u2019s party, PPP.<\/p>\n

The PPP earlier told Citi News\u00a0<\/strong>that one of the three\u00a0\u00a0booklets containing about one thousand seven<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>hundred signatures, was stolen by some\u00a0persons\u00a0who were at the party\u2019s headquarters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The PPP\u2019s Communications Director, Paa Kow Ackon, blamed\u00a0 the NDC\u00a0 for the act.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”8RlXB5YYBHKEDEnXQgPFd1jVI7rQ5mbd”]But reacting to the accusation leveled \u00a0against\u00a0 the NDC, the\u00a0 National \u00a0Communications\u00a0 officer for the party , Solomon Nkansah, \u00a0lashed out\u00a0 at the PPP and described\u00a0 the party \u00a0as being \u00a0irresponsible\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u00a0 is a matter\u00a0 of\u00a0 irresponsibility and \u00a0the\u00a0 party (PPP) \u00a0is simply \u00a0disorganized\u201d.<\/p>\n

Solomon Nkansah added that\u00a0\u201cthe PPP just lacks\u00a0 focus\u00a0 and is simply\u00a0 irresponsible.\u00a0 We won\u2019t allow them to drag us to their level \u201c<\/p>\n

The sentencing of Godwin Ako Gunn,\u00a0 Alistair\u00a0 Nelson , and Salifu\u00a0 Maase known as the Montie trio, to a four-month jail term for contempt, has \u00a0been received with mixed reactions.<\/p>\n

Members of the incumbent party and other ministers \u00a0of state have signed and forwarded a\u00a0petition to the Council of State to persuade President Mahama to\u00a0pardon the Montie\u00a0trio.<\/p>\n

A former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu, has also described as unconstitutional<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the procedure used \u00a0by the Supreme Court in jailing the Montie FM trio.
