Accra, Dec 08, GNA – The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended Dr George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), for the conduct of the December 7 general election.
Mr Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, on Sunday gave the commendation at a press conference in Accra.
“…And IGP Dampare, we will continue to commend you and your Elections Security Task for the yeoman’s job that you have done. But your job is not done because we are nowhere near the conclusion of the electoral process,” Mr Gyamfi stated.
He alleged that the IGP’s work was being undermined by certain elements of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and their collaborators in the military.
He said what they were seeing in the Constituencies Collation Centres was not what the IGP and the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of the Ghana Armed Forces had promised; saying “and we know that you are not a party to what is happening but only they can stop the ‘nonsense’ that is going on”.
Mr Gyamfi condemned the killings of four of the NDC’s supporters in the December 7 general election, however he appealed to all supporters of the Party to remain calm and wait for the final declaration of the elections results.
He said their provisional data shows that the NDC’s Presidential Candidate, former President John Dramani Mahama had won the Presidential Election and that the Party had secured about 187 Parliamentary seats.
