Stop disturbing the people of Abirem with your bloody polling station executives election – NDC to NPP

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch in the Abirem Constituency has condemned the bloody violence recorded during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) polling station executives’ election in the Constituency.

The Constituency is one of many that has witnessed violence since the start of the election processes for the NPP to elect polling station executives.

In a press release from the opposition party, it says it is dissatisfied with the approach and manner in which the current NPP polling stations executive elections are being marked by excessive violence and vote-buying.

“The people in the Abirem constituency are worried about such growing development and living in fear, which is portraying politics not as a friendly enterprise but rather deterring dignified people in our society from joining in political activities and related issues. We, therefore, condemned the barbaric act in our body politics in the constituency and the nation as a whole,” part of a press release issued by the NDC branch in Abirem reads.

In the release issued by the Communication Bureau of the NDC branch in Abirem Constituency, it calls on the Police to arrest perpetrators and ensure peace prevails in the constituency.

“The NDC in Abirem Constituency is strongly calling on the police command to investigate this matter and to bring the culprits to order before it degenerates into something unexpected.

“We also call on the traditional council (Nananom), clergy, and opinion leaders in the District (Birim North) to take note of these happenings and act for peace to prevail in the Abirem Constituency and the District as a whole,” the release concludes.
