We are not recruiting thugs in Obuasi East – NDC Mining Committee

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mining Committee has strongly rejected accusations from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that it is recruiting thugs in the Obuasi East Constituency to disrupt the upcoming December 7, 2024, elections.

NPP National Organiser Nana Boakye (Nana B) had claimed that the NDC was conducting private security training under the guise of legitimate activities.

In response, NDC Mining Committee Secretary Samuel Hadjor dismissed the allegations as baseless and emphasized that the NDC remains committed to peaceful elections.

He highlighted that a recent public mining conference in Obuasi was open and well-covered by major media outlets.

Hadjor suggested that the accusations were a result of the NPP's fear of losing support in mining communities, urging the public to ignore the claims and focus on the issues at hand.
