“It defies logic that a Party that has been declared winner of a general election would encourage its supporters to pursue such acts of lawlessness and vandalism.”
In a release titled: “OUTCOME OF 2024 GENERAL ELECTIONS AND MATTERS ARISING” the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed concern at the criminal and irresponsible activities of some leading members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as well as their supporters, to overturn the outcome of some parliamentary contests nationwide.
On the worrisome issue of burning, destroying and looting of public properties and items as well as properties of NPP parliamentary candidates by NDC supporters and sympathisers, the Party is particularly, disappointed in the leadership of the Police Service for its lackadaisical handling of the unfolding lawlessness.
“It defies logic that a Party that has been declared winner of a general election would encourage its supporters to pursue such acts of lawlessness and vandalism,” the NPP said.
The Party urged the Ghanaian public and all people of good conscience to condemn the NDC for its lawlessness, which seriously undermines peace and security.
The release signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, expressed appreciation to all those whose daily sacrifice and commitment fuelled the 2024 National Campaign of the Party.
The NPP lamented “Unfortunately, your efforts and the efforts of all other stakeholders could not guarantee us the victory we so much desired. We share your pain, anger and disappointment over the electoral outcome, However, our surest bet going forward is to unite, re-group, re-organise and re-strategize for future battle.”
