The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pointed fingers at National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters for disrupting the electoral process in Ablekuma North. According to Richard Ahiagbah, Director of Communications for the NPP, the NDC supporters’ actions have hindered the conclusion of the election, sparking tensions and controversy.
The issue began when Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh urged NPP supporters to stand by their fellow party members in confrontations with NDC members. While Annoh-Dompreh’s comments have sparked debate, Ahiagbah argues that the root cause of the problem lies with the NDC supporters’ disruptive behavior.
Ahiagbah cited an incident on January 17th, where NDC supporters vandalized property at the Electoral Commission (EC) regional office, as an example of the violence and obstruction that has characterized the election process in Ablekuma North.
Rather than focusing solely on Annoh-Dompreh’s remarks, Ahiagbah emphasized the need to address the underlying issues causing the chaos. “If we solve the problem, he won’t hold a mic to say what he is saying,” Ahiagbah stated, urging stakeholders to work towards a peaceful resolution to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
The ongoing tensions in Ablekuma North have raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process, with calls for increased security and a swift resolution to ensure a peaceful conclusion to the election.
