Military presence is intimidating our members - NDC
Aug 5, 2020
Accra, Aug. 4, GNA - The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Tuesday called for the withdrawal of military personnel at the Voters Registration Centres, alleging harassment and intimidation of persons perceived to be sympathizers of the Party.
The Party said Registration Centres, which recorded such incidents were Banda; Ahafo Ano North; Sekyere Afram Plains; Ketu South, Oti, Asougyman; and Atiwa East constituencies.
It alleged some registrants had suffered injuries from the activities of some military personnel and called for the immediate withdrawal of the personnel.
Addressing a media conference in Accra, Mr Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communication Officer of the Party, urged civil society organisations and religious leaders to speak against the acts of violence, which he said, threatened national peace.
Mr Gyamfi alleged that at Banda Constituency in the Bono Region, armed military personnel were terrorising some citizens, creating tension and discouraging people from registering.
He alleged that over the weekend, the Party received reports of brutalities meted out to some residents of Bator Akanyakrom, a fishing community, which was relocated as part of the Bui Dam Resettlement Plan.
Mr Gyamfi claimed five persons, whose eligibility were challenged upon registration and were on their way to attend the Adjudication Committee's meeting of the Electoral Commission were attacked by some armed military men around the Bui Lake close to Bongase.
