According to Mr Agyapong he did not want to destroy, the swearing-in of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, hence sat down quietly and observed the NDC members.
“We (NPP) could have fought, but it would have dragged and affected the swearing-in of MPs-elect and eventually the President and his Vice-President’s swearing-in, that is why we from the NPP side decided to be quiet to let the NDC members have their way,” he explained.
