Mr Kwame Wiredu, a business in the Okere Constituency who initiated the move explained that, his main concern was for the development of the Okere area and that would be difficult to achieve if within members of the party in power in the area who should lead in attracting projects to solve the needs of the area have differences with each other.

He advised the members of the party to be tolerant of criticisms and suggestions from other people including even their political opponents.

Earlier in a welcoming address, the constituency chairman of the party, Mr Kofi Ayite called on the leadership of the branches of the party to learn to forgive each other.
