The youth wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the National Peace Council of being ‘hypocritical’ and biased.

According to the NDC youth wing, the Council has shown bias towards the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), by failing to criticize them for incidence of violence recently.

George Opare Addo, the  National Youth Organizer of the NDC at a press conference on Wednesday [July 15, 2020], said the NDC has shown commitment to Code of Conduct and end to Political Vigilantism. However, according to him, the NPP has failed to keep to the agreement.

According to him, the Peace Council has been unable to get the government to commit to the roadmap which the NDC has signed and committed itself to.

George Opare Addo alleged that some NDC supporters observing the ongoing voter registration exercise are being brutalized by NPP vigilante members under the guise of National Security.

He added that, the Peace Council’s silence to the ongoing brutalities smacks of hypocrisy.

“To the hypocritical Peace Council, we are advising them that out of the 22 deliverables that they brought before us, 18 were supposed to be signed by the government of Ghana led by Nana Akufo-Addo. The NDC has signed but up to date, the government is refusing to sign. Anytime there are issues, instead of them condemning the NPP for acts of violence, because of how they behave, they end up adding the NDC to it. If the NPP is perpetrating violence and they can’t call them to order, nobody should call anybody in the NDC to order,” he stressed.
