PNP accuses NDC of using military tactics to oppress opponents

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of employing military-style tactics to suppress dissent and intimidate political opponents in Ghana. NPP officials claim that the NDC's actions, particularly during recent by-elections in the Bono Region, reflect a strategy aimed at undermining democratic processes and creating an atmosphere of fear among voters. They assert that such tactics undermine the principles of free expression and political competition.

In response to these allegations, the NDC has dismissed them as unfounded, arguing that they are merely attempts by the NPP to deflect attention from its own governance failures. The party emphasizes its commitment to upholding democracy and engaging in peaceful political discourse. As tensions rise ahead of future elections, both parties continue to exchange accusations regarding misconduct, raising concerns about the overall health of Ghana's democratic environment.
