According to the chairman the violence that occurred during the just ended by-election at Ayawaso West Wuogon, if it had not happened their opponent and ruling government, New Patriotic Party (NPP) would have taken them by surprise in 2020.
He told party faithfulness who were being recognised at Dome/Kwabenya, “people did not understand where we were coming from, people did not know the information we had picked, our opponent had planned violence”.
“NDC would not be the same again after Ayawaso West Wuogon, we are a peace loving party, we would not love people to take us for granted”, he lamented.
People should not get former President Mahama wrong, his “boot for boot” comment, he is not calling for war, you cannot tire our hands slap us and ask us not to cry, have you seen some before?, and the party supporters responded no.
I did campaign on the promise that ballot box would be protected, what has happened has strengthened my resolve, that we need to take our destiny into our own hands, if you are a branch chairman start identifying people who would help you protect the ballot box on election day, he said.
“We would not go with guns and weapons, we would go with peoples power when the people’s power is at work no gun can stand against the people’s power”.
