Attack on NDC MPs are attempts to reduce the party's 'majority' seats - NDC

The Volta Regional Secretariat of the opposition NDC says the recent attacks on the party's MP for the Keta Constituency are attempts to reduce NDC's  parliamentary strength.

In a recent statement issued by the party’s regional secretary, James Gunu , the opposition maintained that the act was a deliberate attempt to reduce its parliamentary seats in the just ended general elections.

“The diabolic and evil agenda is to use these as a pretext to mount legal challenges in order to reduce the NDC parliamentary strength,” the statement said.

The concerns raised by the Secretariate follows attacks on the newly-elected MP, Kwame Dzudzorli Gakpey.

Mr Dzudzorli Gakpey has suffered 2 robbery attacks in separate operations and an attack on his Rootsenaf Gas filling station at Satsimadza near Agbozume following his victory in December elections.

The NDC says, it suspects that the attacks were orchestrated by hoodlums from the New Patriotic Party.

“We consider this armed attack by suspected NPP hoodlums as part of the grand scheme by the Akufo-Addo led NPP to reduce our majority seats in Parliament and President John Dramani Mahama’s overwhelming win in the just ended Parliamentary and Presidential elections.”

The party went on to describe the attacks as ‘barbaric and sadistic acts bearing the fingerprints of an organized, planned, well-rehearsed sinister agenda of the Akufo-Addo-led NPP to divert attention from the stolen election.’

Meanwhile, the Volta Regional Secretariat has promised to give persons who help to arrest the perpetrators an amount of GHS 10,000.

“The Regional Secretariat is therefore calling on the party faithful and other well-meaning Ghanaians to be on the look-out for such armed thugs and to provide valuable information towards their arrest.

“While we wish our MP-elect and his family speedy recovery, the Secretariat has set aside GHS 10,000 reward for anyone or group of persons who would volunteer information leading to the arrest of the culprits of this dastardly act.”
