The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been accused of shamefully pulling down billboards displaying images of former John Mahama and Madam Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya East Constituency in the Central Region.

The NDC parliamentary candidate made this accusation in a statement dated April 27, 2023.

The statement reminded the NPP that the contest for political office must be one of track record and ideas, not hooliganism. 

''I am by this release serving notice that if they don't desist from this thuggery and outmoded behaviour, they will be overwhelmed by the force of resistance they will meet," the statement noted.

''After reporting the matter to the police as law demands, I urge them to do their part in investigating and apprehending those criminals behind this archaic behaviour as soon as possible. I hope they don't treat it as all other cases reported to them by the NDC," the statement said.

The statement warned should the police fail, ''I will not be blamed for any reaction that may arise from my comrades as I am struggling to calm tensions at the moment."

"To the NPP,  this is a new day. Do not start a war you cannot finish. A word to the wise," the statement ended.
