The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has condemned alleged acts of violence and vandalism being perpetrated allegedly against some political opponents of the NPP in the aftermath of the announcements of the results of the 2016 election.
A statement signed by the acting General Secretary of the party, John Boadu, said “We condemn in no uncertain terms these distasteful occurrences, if true, and wish to state that NPP will not condone or sanction such actions.”
Earlier, President John Dramani Mahama had directed the security agencies to deploy across the country and arrest any person caught vandalising government property or attacking innocent people.
A statement signed by the Minister of Communications, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, said the directive followed attacks on supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and government installations by some supporters of the NPP.
President Mahama, according to the statement, was disappointed in the NPP leadership for failing to bring their supporters to order.
