NDC Wears Masks To Cause Confusion
The Volta Regional branch of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) has revealed what it alleges to be a
grand scheme by the National Democratic Congress
((NDC) to cause confusion and rig tomorrow’s
general election in the region.

Speaking to journalists in Ho, NPP Regional
Secretary, Joseph Homenya, mentioned among other
things that the NDC was distributing masks and
military uniforms to some selected party members
to perpetrate acts that will disrupt polls and
pave way for rigging.

Mr. Homenya was grateful to God for touching the
heart of the NDC member who felt uncomfortable
with the ploy and informed an elder of his
church.

He therefore, urged the security agencies to take
note of their complaints and act decisively on
them before things get out of hand.

Arrest Of NPP Chairman

The regional secretary, who was flanked by the
vice chairman, Dr. Archibald Letsa and the Deputy
Communications Director, Enoch Amegbletor, also
accused the NDC government of clandestine schemes
to cause the arrest of the Regional Chairman, John
Peter Amewu, for unknown reasons and detain him
until after the elections.

He said information gathered indicated that the
arrest is meant to destabilize the party ahead of
the elections and divert the party’s attention
from the all-important democratic exercise.

Border Communities

Mr. Homenya further disclosed that the government
had opened the “Beat Zero” border entry point
at Aflao, few days to the elections, alleging that
it’s part of a scheme to smuggle in foreigners
to come and vote for the NDC.

The NPP was also unhappy with the transfer of
personnel of the security agencies in the region,
particularly those operating along Ghana’s
borders who were fair and firm. For the party,
“Such transfers are to pave way for security
operatives who will succumb to the whims and
caprices of the NDC government and its
assigns.”

The party was also unhappy about a speculation
there would be total blackout in the evening of
tomorrow when the ballots are being counted.

Mr. Homenya claimed that the party had noticed a
blue Toyota Hilux with registration number GT
411-16 that had for some time now been trailing
them in the course of party activities.

The Volta NPP accused Koku Anyidoho, NDC deputy
general secretary, of using some local radio
stations to incite mayhem in the region.
