A man believed to be a constituency executive of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region has been captured on tape making inciteful comments ahead with respect to the 2024 general elections.
This video has since yesterday been circulated all over and it is eye sore and pain in the side of the National Democratic Congress, who has always tried to drive their members to peace. That is even the reason why they recently changed their leadership in the minority caucus to help them win without any violence.
Speaking to a journalist on the sidelines, on what looked like a party event, the man charged members of the NDC not to hesitate to shed blood if it is what it will take to win power.
“As journalists, you were witnesses to a situation where people were shot and killed in the 2020 elections. So standing here today, I am to make sure that no NPP member can come and kill me. So we are in and I will advice every true NDC member that in the 2024 elections, when it becomes necessary to kill someone to win, kill them; even if it requires that you shoot someone or club them to win us power do it.”
NDC Youth Organizer of Suame Constituency Constituency
These comments were made when an interview was being conducted between the man and a journalist from Oyerepa FM.
The 2020 elections albeit largely peaceful, saw pockets of violence which led to the death of about 8 persons. According to the opposition NDC, the New Patriotic Party through state security and vigilantes used violence at various polling stations to rig the election.
However, the NDC has said things will be different in the 2024 elections as it will go into the polls more prepared to ward off such incidents.
