Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegates in the persons of Ningo-Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George and the party's Deputy General Secretary, Peter Boamah Otukonor were hooted at during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ongoing National Delegates Conference.

The NPP delegates sang and clapped "away" when the NDC delegates, delivering a solidarity speech at the conference, made a joke about the Ghana card.

The NDC Deputy General Secretary mocked the ruling party saying he bought a ball of kenkey for GHC 5 using his Ghana card.

This was an implied riposte to a recent viral statement by the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who said if given a chance to choose between a 1000 interchanges and the Ghana card, he would choose the Ghana card any day any time.

Otukonor said "when we were coming, I decided to buy a ball of kenkey. This ball of kenkey sells for GHC 5, the leaves on the kenkey alone will be GHC 3, more expensive than the kenkey itself…and guess what, I bought the kenkey with my Ghana card."

But his statement did not go down well with the delegates who suddenly catcalled him, thus truncating the opposition party's solidarity message.
