The leadership of the New Patriotic Party in the Northern Region condemned the violence that ensued at the Electoral Commission's subway office in Tamale during the limited registration in the region, accusing the NDC of having organized them.

The group called on the police to attack the perpetrators of the violence, adding that it would help deter future troublemakers.

In a statement, Sule Salifu, director of communications for the NPP Northern Region, also called on leaders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to urgently condemn the "unacceptable behavior" of their members.

Shots were heard Monday at the Metro Office of the Electoral Commission in Tamale during the limited registration exercise.

According to reports, the gunshots were going to disperse the last group of people to register.

It has already been alleged that young people at the power station executed the shooting.

However, nuclear power plants in the North region have accused the NDC of taking advantage of the limited voter registration exercise to create chaos.

"The nuclear power plant has taken note of an attack of NDC attackers on potential enrollees and wishes to unequivocally condemn them. At the closing of registrations Sunday, the EC had badigned numbers to people who were not able to sign up for the closing on Sunday. "

"We will also want to call on the NDC leaders in the region to condemn unreservedly this unacceptable behavior of their party man. This will send an indisputable message of rejection of all forms of violence. Failure to do so will rightly be considered a tacit endorsement of Amaru's violent conduct and will inform the future response of the nuclear power plant to the same thing. "

Explaining what led to the attacks, the statement explained that an NDC activist, known as Amaru, had attacked the brother of a young woman who was in the queue. waiting to register with a stone after a misunderstanding.

"On Monday, July 8, 2019, a young woman came to sign up with her CE signed slip, which unfortunately was scrambled. In the ensuing debate on the opportunity to allow him to register or not, an NDC activist commonly known as Amaru from the lumber market took a stone and hit the face of a man. brother of the future holder. This led to chaotic scenes unfortunately leading to an abrupt end of the recording process. "

"We will want to ask the police command in the subway to treat this as a criminal case and to urgently investigate to determine guilt and punish the same. This will serve as a deterrent to others who may have the intention of disrupting future programs of state institutions in the service of our democracy. "
