This is a President that has sworn to uphold the Rule of Law and we await his swift action. The NPP held parliamentary primaries in over 100 constituencies across the country to select candidates for the constituencies with incumbent NPP MPs. Many persons could be seen not wearing nose masks or wearing them wrongly.
