The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has indicated it is yet to confirm whether it will attend the inauguration of President John Mahama on January 7, 2013.

The NPP is challenging the 2012 Presidential and Parliamentary election results which saw President Mahama being declared winner.

Speaking on “Point Blank”, a segment on Eyewitness News on Monday, Director of Communications for the NPP, Nana Akomea noted that he was uncertain the party would send representatives to the event.

“As to whether the party will see its way clear in being part of a process whose validity is being contested, I think we will cross that bridge when we get there."

Nana Akomea further mentioned, “I am an open minded person. At the end of the day, the presence of the NPP at the inauguration will not invalidate our case before the Supreme Court but if lawyers so advise that your presence there when you believe that the whole process is based on an illegality and your presence there compromises you, the legal opinion will hold sway”.
