PRESS RELEASE

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS, EASTERN REGIONAL SECRETARIAT.

THE NPP IS SETTING FIRE IN EASTERN REGION

The Eastern Regional branch of the NDC is bringing to the notice of the Eastern Regional Police Command the diabolical plans the NPP is employing in the region.

The NPP regional chairman, Kingston Akwasi Kissi with his executives are deploying land guards and invisible forces to the various constituencies in the region to snatch ballot boxes and intimidate innocent voters.

Over thousand (1,000) thugs have been drawn and deployed to these under listed constituencies. Akwatia, Asamankese, Afram Plains, Suhum, Abetifi, Mpreaso, Oda, Ofoase Ayeribi, Asuogyaman, Fanteakwa, Atiwa, Nsawam, Kyebi, New Juaben and other constituencies.

They are doing this with the help of some police officers like the Suhum Police Commander, Kyebi Police Commander, Upper West Akim Police Commander, Asesewa police Commander and some Police officers at the Regional Command and one Agyei Manu and Evans Mensah.

We are calling on the IGP, the Peace Council, the Christian Council and other security agencies to call the NPP to order to ensure peace in the region.

We will protect our members if the security fails to protect them, we will protect the media if the security fails to protect them, we will protect the ballot boxes if the security fails to protect them.

The agenda 50/50 is non negotiable and the NPP cannot continue to intimidate our members as they did in 2012.

We are winning the region, the NDC is winning the country and JM is continuing with his presidency.
