NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
ASHANTI REGIONAL SECRETARIAT
Date: 1ST JUNE, 2024
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CAUTION TO POLICE IN ASHANTI REGION
The attention of the Regional Chairman has been drawn to unfortunate and barbaric act by some officers of the Ghana Police Service in Ashanti Region conniving with the NPP to attack and sack our agents from various centres.
We want to send this note of caution to the police that in as much as we believe and work towards free-fair-transparent election, we will not allow the police to be used against us.
The unfortunate aspect of this is that, this fallacious act of unprofessionalism is spearheaded by some District Commanders of the Ghana Police service acting on behalf of the NPP.
If the police are ignorant of the law and process governing registrations and transfers, they should subject themselves to wisdom and learn the position of the law instead of acting unprofessionally, if it's a clandestine agenda against the NDC in the region which we believe is the case then they must prepare themselves to face the consequences of same at the right time since we have commissioned our executive across the region to send us list of all such ferocious police officers who are oppressing agents to the advantage of the failed NPP.
We call on the Regional Police Command to call these officers to order for peace to reign at various centres.
A word to a wise is enough.
Thank you.

Augustus Andrews Nana Kwasi Ashanti Regional Chairman - NDC
