Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Parliamentary Candidate for the Abura Asebu-Kwamankese constituency under the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of being responsible for recent cases of electoral violence in Ghana.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s *Point of View* program on Wednesday, Kwakye Ofosu responded to accusations suggesting that the NDC had been involved in violent activities. He refuted the claims by asserting that it is under the current NPP administration that lives have been lost during 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,” he remarked, referring to the eight lives lost in the previous elections.
He also pointed to the infamous Ayawaso West Wuogon incident as further evidence of the ruling party’s role in political violence. “The NDC has no such record. We all saw the Ayawaso West Wuogon terrorist attack. That is what I call it,” he stressed.
Kwakye Ofosu concluded by stating, “…So if we were to speak about a record of violence, the NPP carries the can without any debate.”
