He advised NDC supporters to undertake a house-to-house campaign to win more votes for the party.

Mr Agyemang-Mensah cautioned Ghanaians against politics of insults and appealed to them to go about their political activities decently.

Mr Ali Yeboah, and Stephen Yeboah, who had earlier picked nomination forms, said they were stepped down for the Regional Minister.
