Former Manhyia North Member of Parliament (MP) Collins Amankwah has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is gradually posing a threat to national security.
This, he explained is due to the chaos that characterised the Kumasi edition of the NDC’s ‘Enough is Enough’ demonstration against the Electoral Commission(EC) on Tuesday.
Speaking on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday, Mr Amankwa cited the vandalism at the EC office stated it was uncalled for.
“What happened in Kumasi must be condemned. The NDC must advise the youth and call them to order. If the violence exhibited was a rehearsal towards 2024, then they should be careful. It is an act of indiscipline. I thought we have disbanded vigilantism but we must be careful because he NDC is gradually becoming a threat to national security as a group,” he condemned.
Approximately 5,000 NDC supporters gathered at the party’s Ashanti regional headquarters in Amakuom around 10:30 am before marching to the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC).
The protest began peacefully, but tempers flared when the demonstrators led by the NDC Regional Chairman, Nana Akwasi Agyeman deviated from the planned route to submit their petition at the ARCC.
The situation resulted in a clash with the Police, leading to the injury of one officer who is currently undergoing treatment.
The Police were compelled to use tear gas to control the irate crowd as the pelted stones.
