He said that until that was done, party members should remain vigilant.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ofosu Ampofo cautioned that in this high-stakes election, professionalism on the part of the security agencies was crucial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former NDC National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo Former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has vowed that the party will not be intimidated by any attempts to use the military to undermine the upcoming December 7 general elections.
