The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has warned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to refrain from attempting to interfere with constituencies won by the NPP in the ongoing electoral process.
This warning comes amidst heightened tensions and incidents of unrest at various collation centers during the ongoing electoral process.
At a press conference in Accra on Sunday, Justin Frimpong Kodua, the General Secretary of the NPP, stated that the party has taken notice of the violent conduct of NDC supporters at several constituencies, including Damongo, Ablekuma North, and Techiman South, among others.
Kodua emphasised that the NPP’s data clearly indicates that they have won these constituencies, but the NDC is attempting to dispute these results.
Kodua strongly condemned these actions, warning that the NPP would resist any attempts to tamper with the results of the parliamentary elections in these constituencies.
The NPP also urged the leadership of the NDC to call their supporters to order and publicly condemn the acts of violence and unrest at the collation centers.
He called on the Inspector-General of Police to maintain law and order at the collation centers and ensure the rights and safety of all citizens are protected.
Kodua stated, “The NPP has with great concern taken notice of the violent conducts of the NDC thugs as some the constituencies collation centres ie Damongo, Ablekuma North, Techiman South, Aowin, Obuasi East, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Fanteakwa North, Ahafo Ano North, Ahafo Ano South West, Akwatia, Trobu and Tema Central.
“Indeed, data that made our flagbearer to concede this morning shows clearly that the NPP has won the constituencies I have mentioned but the NDC knowing very well that they lost these seats to the NPP are unwilling to accept their fate and are desperately seeking to compel the EC to do their bidding.
“We vehemently condemn these attacks are serving notice that we shall resist every attempt to temper with the result of the parliamentary elections in these constituencies. I call on the IGP…Mr IGP we believe you have seen what is happening at the various collation centres and as a political party the NPP we are calling on you to maintain law and order at the various collation centres.
“We must ensure that the rights and safety of all our citizens are protected. We must not allow illegal looting and intimidation of our citizens, and I call on the leadership of the NDC to call its supporters to order and condemn these unnecessary acts of violence.”
