Chairman Wontumi denies NPP involvement in vandalism
The Ashanti regional branch of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) has reacted to alleged reports of
destruction of properties and attacks on members
of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The party says its checks have revealed that such
dastard acts are not being perpetrated by members
of the party, but rather elements masquerading as
sympathizers of the NPP.

In a statement issued and signed by its Regional
Chairman, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka Chairman
Wontumi, the party condemned the attacks
unreservedly and charged on the security agencies
to swiftly act and arrest the faceless elements
behind the illegality.

According to the NPP, it is absurd to assume that
supporters of a party that has achieved an
emphatic victory will go about attacking its
opponents or destroying property in the cause of
their jubilation.

“Such action, we believe, can only be undertaken
by people who are disgruntled as a result of
electoral defeat; no true NPP member will embark
on such activity,” the statement noted.

It further called on party supporters to be on the
lookout for any person that will attempt to engage
in such acts and report them to the police.

“It is our hope that the security agencies will
act expediently to unravel faces behind the
illegal acts and bring them to book,” the party
said.

The Regional NPP Chairman further observed in the
statement that the NPP is a political organization
that believes in true democracy and exchange of
ideologies and would therefore not resort to
violence or attacks on its opponents.
