Chairman of the New Patriotic Party Paul Afoko is set to launch the second phase of the NPP’s party card despite stiff internal opposition from some top guns.

Recently some party top guns notably National Treasurer Abankwa Yeboah described the decision by Paul Afoko to introduce and launch the new cards as unconstitutional.

The cards are expected to among other things help the party raise funds ahead of the 2016 elections.

But second vice chairman of the party Sammy Crabbe told Joy News the accusations by Mr. Abankwa Yeboah are “unfortunate.’’

The proposal for the card was reviewed and voted upon by the party with Mr. Abankwa Yeboah taking part in all the process.

He would however not say if the decision to launch the card has the backing of the party’s flagbearer. “I won’t answer to that, I don’t want you to draw the thing into controversy,” he stressed.

“I don’t think it is a fraudulent action. I think the national chairman and the general secretary were there to launch it in the full view of the cameras,” he maintained.

The party card would be launched next week.
