NDC and NPP clash over banners in Volta Region There is tension mounting in the Ketu South
Constituency in the Volta Region following the
appearance of a banner purported to be from
supporters of the National Democratic Congress
(NDC) popped up a New Patriotic Party (NPP)
regional rally ground.
The banner with the inscription " Ghanaian
residents in Togo are not Togolese. They have
rights just like those in the UK" has been fixed
at Denu junction where the candidate of the NPP
flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akkuffo Addo is
billed to address the party's supporters later.
Joy News has gathered that there were earlier
banners hanging at vantage points along the major
streets of Aflao welcoming Nana Akuffo Addo to
Togo.
One of the earlier banners which had the
inscription "Ketu South Welcomes Nana Akufo Addo,
Bawumia and the NPP to the republic of Togo. We
are Ghanaians, not Togolese" was removed by some
NPP supporters in the early hours of Sunday.
The removal of the banners, however, caused some
confusion in the constituency as NDC supporters
and NPP supporters clashed at the site of these
banners. It took the intervention of the police to
help restore order.
Scores of party supporters and functionaries are
gathering at the Aflao-Avoeme for a rally awaiting
the arrival of Nana Akuffo Addo, in the backyard
of the 'world bank of the NDC'. Source - Joyfm
