Reprimand NPP and Affiliate groups – Young Democrats demand
A group calling itself the Young Democrats want
leaders of the opposition New Patriotic Party
(NPP) and some affiliate groups reprimanded by
security agencies for allegedly plotting
violence.

In a statement issued by Abass M. Osabutey
convener of the group, it accused the NPP of
scouting for opportunities to whip up electoral
violence during the November Polls.

Read Full Statement Below;

It has been evident from the word go that the NPP
has been looking for opportunity to justify
electoral violence having realized winning the
2016 Presidential elections has become an
impossible task. The agenda to run-down the EC
with needless accusations and attacks is to create
a bad public image for the commission in order to
justify any NPP intended violence during and after
the polls.

History will remind Ghanaians that Mr. David
Asante who holds himself as the convener of the
pressure group, Let My Vote Count Alliance
(LMVCA), has a history of inciting violence. The
LMVCA is affiliated to the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) and it can be recall in 2013, the group
organized a rally in Accra, where the supporters
of the NPP called on their leadership to allow
them detonate bombs at schools, public transport
etc. And in the process kill innocent Ghanaians
because the NPP lost the 2012 general election to
the John Mahama-led NDC.

Quite recently, the NPP under the cover of
darkness imported three (3) South African
ex-service men into the country to conduct
military training for party footsoldiers at the El
Capitano Hotel in Agona Dunkwa for the 2016
elections. Suspended National Chairman of the NPP,
Mr. Paul Afoko also admitted to the NPP earlier
engaging Serbian mercenaries to train party
footsoldiers in various drills including weapon
handling. One therefore needs no rocket scientist
to confirm that the incessant attacks on the EC
and the electoral process by the NPP and its Let
My Vote Count Alliance is a grand scheme to create
a hopeless and hapless political environment to
allow their mercenaries to destabilize our
peaceful country.

It is therefore inimical to the growth of our
democratic process if the security agencies sit
aloof for David Asante and the likes to make such
inflammatory utterances on the airwaves.

The Young Democrats believe that, institutions of
state such as the EC must be supported to deliver
on their constitutional mandates. The deliberate
attacks on the EC by the NPP and its affiliates
must not be taken lightly by the Security Agencies
but rather they must be extra vigilant and treat
such Security threatening statements with all the
seriousness it deserves.

We urge the Security Agencies to give our request
a thoughtful consideration to curb and avert a
response in an equal measure in our own effort to
protect and preserve the peace of our motherland.

The Young Democrats is calling on all well meaning
Ghanaians to reject political parties and
surrogates whose only interest is to create chaos
and disturb the peace of our beloved nation.
