– The NDC says its deputy elected by Jomoro has been attacked at his residence.
– The party’s communications leader in the constituency blames the PNP for the attack.
– Former President Mahama says he will not accept the results of a flawed election
The main opposition Democratic National Congress (NDC) has denounced an attack by the party’s elected deputy, Dorcas Affo Toffey, at her residence on Friday.
Speaking at a press conference, an NDC Jomoro constituency communications officer, Patrick Ellonu, narrated the incident stating that it all started with a “supposed” float to Bonyere where they attacked the deputy elected by Jomoro, the Honorable Dorcas Toffey in her home.
According to him, the leaders of the float include; Jomoro’s defeated MP Paul Essien and disappointed MCE candidate and constituency secretary, Eric Muah.
He claims that when the NPP hooligans arrived at the deputy-elect’s residence, they went crazy and attacked anyone they suspected of being a member of the NDC for no reason.
Patrick Ellonu further alleged that the hooligans who claimed they were taking a walk were wielding weapons such as pepper spray, taser machetes, knives, axes and chains. One would wonder if they were going to war.
Their motif was displayed in public view as they made their way through the door of the Hon Dorcas Toffey residence. However, they were resisted by personal security in their home who tried to prevent them from entering the house, but they were unable to do so due to the number of people who made their way with deadly weapons, “he said.
So far, officials from the New Patriotic Party (PNP) have not responded to these claims. The Party, therefore, has denounced all claims of violence, stating that the general elections have been free, fair and peaceful.
The international community has hailed Ghana for peaceful elections. A special convoy from the European Union (EU) also described the elections as generally peaceful.
Meanwhile, John Mahama has insisted that he will not accept the results of a “flawed election.” He told supporters at the party headquarters that he will seek all legitimate legal means to reverse the statement made by the president of the Election Commission, Jean Mensa.
