The Deputy Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kwaku Boahen has disclosed that he was not part of the meeting where their Chairman, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo is said to have made some unfortunate comments.

Reacting on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he indicated that he was not in the said meeting for him to record  the leaked tape of Chairman Ofosu-Ampofo.

According to him, he had been admitted at a hospital in Kumasi and that he had sought permission from some executives of the party to seek medical attention in Kumasi.

I was taken ill and was at a Kumasi based hospital receiving treatment on that day.

"So how can I record my Chairman?" he asked rhetorically.

"I was trying to act upon my responsibility as a deputy Communication Officer when the media called, but the media twisted the news for their own gain," he said.

He maintained that he was not at the meeting and therefore cannot be held responsible by the rank and file of the party for recording and leakage of the tape.

"They should stop pointing accusing fingers at me, because I am saying it emphatically that I am innocent and therefore did not record my Chairman," he said.

The Communication team of the opposition National Democratic Congress appears to be in ‘crisis’ with their handling of party National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo’s leaked 'doctored' tape which has gone viral.

Meanwhile, Kwaku Boahen in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’ was very reluctant and said that “We the party [NDC communication] members are very happy of what our Chairman said and we will do exactly that. What he said is dear to our hearts that is why we clapped for him during the meeting which was recorded and leaked.”

National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has called for a 'relentless war' against Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC).

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, in a purported leaked audio recording circulating could be heard telling some party members of the NDC that “ . . the EC Chair, we must wage a relentless war against this EC Chair.”

The recording is believed to have been done at a meeting after the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency by-election held on January 31, 2019.

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo could be heard also complaining about the treatment of the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the by-election, Delali Kwasi Brempong, whose La Bawaleshie residence on the day of voting became the centre for gun battle between National Security operatives and supporters of the NDC.

Backing his Chairman, Kweku Boahen also alleged that "so don’t you know the EC boss is a member of the NPP, she wears their T-shirt at secret meetings. She does their [NPP] works for them as EC boss. We won’t sit and look at her. We have issues with her before her appointment as EC boss. She is not even fit for the position.”

“Just as our Chairman said, we will unleash war against her. She is a member of the NPP. Nobody can shut us up,” he angrily said.
