He said the bad faith exhibited by the NPP in their letter would hinder the dialogue. After almost a week of not hearing from the NPP, the Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo wrote to the President. n his letter, Ofosu Ampofo suggested that other political parties, civil society and the media should be invited to join the dialogue. In a response which the NDC later described as “surprising,” President Akufo-Addo said he saw no basis for the request giving that the suggested groups do not have any “vigilante” groups.
