Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Abura Asebu-Kwamankese, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of being responsible for recent instances of electoral violence in Ghana.
During a debate on the Point of View on Channel One TV on Wednesday, Kwakye Ofosu responded to allegations that the NDC had been involved in violent activities, stating that the NPP government is the only administration under which people have been killed during elections.
He specifically referenced the killing of eight individuals in the last elections as evidence, further blaming the ruling party for fostering an environment of political violence.
“In more recent history, the only government under whom people have died in elections is the NPP. Eight people were killed. Gunned down by thugs and security operatives.
“The NDC has no such record. We all saw the Ayawaso West Wuogon terrorist attack. That is what I call it,” he stated.
Mr Ofosu further emphasised, “…So if we were to speak about a record of violence, the NPP carries the can without any debate.”
