The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly condemned what it describes as threats of death and physical assault by officials of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against key figures within its leadership.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, 3 September, and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP alleged that the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin; the party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye; and MP Frank Annoh-Dompreh had received death threats from NDC’s 1st National Vice Chairman, Chief Sofo Azorka, and the Abuakwa North Constituency Communication Officer, Alhaji Abdul Wahab Amadu.
The party further accused Chief Sofo Azorka of leading a violent physical attack against its 3rd National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osman Masawudu, during the post-election period.
“Such violent conduct by no mean a person than a National Officer of the ruling party and a constituency officer diminishes the gains of our democracy and has the potential to create further insecurity in the country in the face of Ghana’s recent decline in the Global Peace Index Ranking,” the statement read.
The NPP announced it would formally lodge complaints with the Ghana Police Service against the accused individuals. It also called on the Inspector General of Police to arrest and investigate Chief Sofo Azorka, Alhaji Abdul Wahab, and others captured in widely circulated videos of the incident.
The statement stressed that the “recklessness” of the alleged acts must be properly investigated and punished to safeguard Ghana’s democratic stability.
