The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been accused by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Abura Asebu-Kwamankese, of being the cause of the recent electoral violence in Ghana.
In response to accusations that the NDC had engaged in violent actions, Kwakye Ofosu said during a debate on the Point of View on Channel One TV on Wednesday that the NPP regime is the only one in which elections have resulted in fatalities.
He further accused the ruling party of creating a climate of political violence, citing as proof the eight people who were killed in the most recent elections.
“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.”
