The Founder and leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Percival Kofi Akpaloo, has denied attacking the General Secretary of the All People’s Congress (APC), Mordechai Thiombiano Lompo at Thursday's IPAC meeting.

According to Kofi Akpaloo it was Hassan Ayariga who was rather engaged in a scuffle and not him.

Giving an account on what transpired at the meeting, the NDC National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo said had it not being the intervention of The Most Reverend Charles Gabriel Palmer- Buckle, the immediate past Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra blood would have flowed at the meeting.

He said it all started when Kofi Akpaloo decided to start recording Hassan Ayariga with his mobile phone when he was on floor making his presentation.

On seeing this, the APC General Secretary prompted him to stop and that was the beginning of the whole scuffle. 

"From Archbishop to Angel . . . I don't even know how he managed to save the situation," he said.

Akaploo's Bad Faith

He said while the meeting was still ongoing, they got information that the LPG Leader had dashed out to hold a briefing with the media which was an act of bad faith against the decision of all parties involved to issue a communique after the meeting.

"He demonstrated an act of bad faith . . . if he is a leader of a party then he should behave as such, he is losing the respect I have for him," Mr. Ofosu Ampofo told Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Thursday.

"He cannot deny it, everybody was there," he added.

But speaking in an interview on Neat FM's 'Me Man Nti' programme, Thursday, the LPG leader said he never engaged in any fight at the meeting.
