The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on Civil Society Organisations(CSOs) and the National Peace Council to pressure President-elect John Mahama to call National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters involved in post-election vandalism to order.
The NPP General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua made the call at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday.
Mr Kodua expressed worry over the increasing reports of post-election violence and hooliganism by some supporters of the NDC nationwide.
He bemoaned the actions did not augur well for Ghana’s democratic and must not be allowed to fester on.
“We are equally calling on the National Peace Council, National House of Chiefs, Christian Council of Ghana, Catholic Bishops Conference, National Chief Imam, organised labor, civil society organisations, the diplomatic community, to as a matter of agency, and for the sake of our cherish and enviable record as a country that has for over 32 years practised multi-party democracy, to come out and condemn the lawlessness from the NDC.
“And we call on the president-elect Mr. John Dramani Mahama to call his people to order and also allow the Electoral Commission to do his job,” he stated.
Mr. Kodua also alleged attacks on the homes of its MPs and Parliamentary Candidates and caused disturbances in some areas following the NDC’s victory in the general elections.
He has therefore called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr George Akuffo Dampare to intervene and ensure that law and order are maintained in the affected areas.
