Leaders of the main opposition party, the United States (US) National Democratic Congress (NDC) have endorsed the statement of former President John Mahama that the president Republican, John Mahama, would be a violent clash against the ruling NPP in the general election next year.
John Mahama made it clear that the NDC would align the NPP "Start Against Seed" project in the 2020 general election if the current NPP government tried to use tactics to intimidate NDC members.
This comes after the violent electoral violence recorded last Thursday in the by-elections of Ayawaso West Wuogon, during which the PNP candidate, Lydia Seyram Alhbadan, came out victorious.
According to Mahama, "the NDC will not joke in 2020, and it sends a warning to the NPP to tell him that his party and give him the same footing for the NPP."
A statement issued by the party in the United States and signed by its secretary, Steve Dei, states that "NDC USA fully supports the call of the former president, His Excellency President Mahama, to ask members NDC to be prepared to deal with these unguarded acts of the NPP at full force.
"Former President Mahama has made no mistake in making this appeal, we fully support him and will support him forever."

NDC USA CONDEMNS THE STATE OF INSECURITY IN GHANA
The NDC USA noted with deep disappointment that the NPP government is gradually creating the conditions necessary for the destabilization of the country. The highlight is the brutality inflicted on innocent and law-abiding citizens during the by-election in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency held on Thursday. January 31, 2019.
We unequivocally and unequivocally condemn this despicable anarchy and unrest that are "non-Ghanai" and risk plunging the country into political and social turmoil.
When the government monopolizes the violence and prides itself on being in possession of the state security apparatus, it is imperative to warn that the power lies with the people and not the government ; Popular forces can also defeat government forces.
Our beloved country, which is proud of the high sense of security for its citizens in the eyes of the world, is now besieged with terror and fear. The current insecurity of Ghanaian citizens in Ghana results from the actions of President Nana Akuffo Addo and the macho men of the NPP government, the invisible forces, who operated in the open air under the guise of the police. Special weapons and tactics (SWAT). . In recent years, these invisible forces of the Delta have been perceived as: attacks by judges in court, attacks on police stations and release of their members in difficulty; Brutalizing the regional security coordinator Ashanti. Terrorize the directors of health at the Tamale Regional Hospital.
Mr. Speaker, under your government, we have seen officials in your government urge the public to oppose journalists who denounce corruption in an effort to reduce the corruption that you promised to fight but failed catastrophically. and instead of institutionalizing. Ghanaians are terrorized, oppressed and repressed
The last straw that broke the back of the camel is the attempt to deregulate the voters, especially the NDC members, the older members and even the parliamentarians through intimidation, indiscriminate shooting and badaults by the invisible forces. . Under the laws of Ghana, parliamentarians are supposed to enjoy some protection, but your invisible forces have attacked the hon. Sam George regardless of his status, and the king of the "rule of law" is silent about it?
How can you keep quiet, when our lawmakers are attacked, is that the case of you do not worry? Or did they act on your order?
NDC USA fully supports the call of the former president, His Excellency President Mahama, to the NDC members to be ready to face these unguarded acts of the NPP. Former President Mahama made no mistake in making this call. We support him fully and will always support him. Moreover, in the corridors of the government of Akuffo Addo, we hear that these numerous acts of anarchy and the extreme use on the part of the government are a sufficient recipe to invite other political troubles with the tendency to plunge the country in chaos and erode our democracy. credentials. The general consequence will be to make the country regress on the progress we have made so far as a nation.
It should be noted that the NDC USA will not oppose the NPP government substituting "the rule of law" for "the rule of impunity". We hope that the President, as a matter of urgency, will bring these perpetrators of shooting and lawlessness to justice.
Mr. Speaker, this is not a call for an inquiry, it is a request for justice, because you know the members of the invisible forces that you have deployed, let them face the law, Justice Now!
Sign.
Steve Dei
Secretary – NDC USA
