NPP alleges NDC's inaction on State institution attacks -

Following the December 2024 general elections in Ghana, which resulted in a victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President John Mahama, several incidents of vandalism targeting state properties were reported across the country.

Supporters of the NDC were implicated in these acts, leading to widespread concern over the nation’s stability.

In response to these events, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) held a press conference at their headquarters, where Director of Communications Richard Ahiagbah accused the NDC of failing to condemn or prevent the attacks on state institutions. Ahiagbah asserted that the NDC’s inaction effectively condoned the violence, thereby compromising Ghana’s democratic stability.

He called on the NDC to take full responsibility for the deaths and violence that occurred during their tenure and to implement measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

In contrast, the NDC publicly condemned the vandalism and urged its supporters to refrain from such activities. The party emphasized that acts of vandalism, mob justice, and lawless retribution could undermine the peace and stability of the nation.

The NDC called for calm among its supporters, encouraging them to celebrate the electoral victory responsibly and in accordance with the rule of law.

Despite the NDC’s statements, the NPP maintained that the opposition’s initial failure to promptly address the violence contributed to the escalation of tensions. The NPP urged the NDC to take concrete actions to prevent future incidents and to uphold the nation’s democratic principles.
