The Eastern Region branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to beef up security at the district office of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) in Upper West Akyem.
The NDC is accusing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Constituency Chairman, Nana Adei Obuobi, of causing mayhem and intimidating EC’s officials by leading some thugs to fire gunshots.

“Per our intel, the thugs he brought to disrupt the registration process are members of the Okyenhene taskforce,” the NDC alleged in a press release issued by Eastern Region Secretary Jamal Konneh on Sunday, October 1.
“We call on the IGP and the Regional Commander to beef up security at Adeiso to help avert any unforeseen circumstances,” the press release demanded.
“We are also calling on Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panyin, to call his men to order.”
It warned that the NDC cannot be intimidated by the NPP and its surrogates in the Region.
“We as a party believe in the democratic processes but we will and can never cower to submission to any entity.
“NPP should advise themselves and think twice if this is the approach, they will employ going into 2024, because they do not have a monopoly over violence.”
The limited voter registration exercise is scheduled to end across the country on Monday, October 2.
