Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, National President of the NDC
The NDC has described Ghanaian democracy as being under siege.
According to the party, "under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo and the Inspector General of Police, David Asante Apeatu, Ghana's democracy is under threat."
Party chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo made the remarks at a press conference on Thursday to officially announce the party's withdrawal from the current by-election at Ayawaso West Wuogon.
Just hours after the by-election, gunmen dressed in National Security clothing stormed the Bawalashie Presby polling station.
Eyewitnesses said gunmen fired shots and attacked agents suspected of being NDC opposition agents. The shots lasted 20 minutes. The police intervened as the attacks continued.
Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, recounting his own version of incidents at the scene of the election and having enlightened his position, told strangers "shot indiscriminately.
He stressed that "the house of our parliamentary candidate had been implored and as a result. Eight people were injured. The parliamentary candidate was almost under house arrest.
"The NDC can not and will not be part of this exercise," he added.
