The Member of Parliament for Adenta Constituency Kojo Adu – Asare has said members of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) are being haunted by their own past misdeeds that characterized the 2008 general elections.
According to the MP, the NPP who are the worst culprits, surprisingly are shamefully “shouting wolf where obviously there is none”.
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) wants the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to assure Ghanaians it will not resort to violence and intimidation in the 2012 elections.
The NPP national chairman Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, claims the NDC plans to win the polls by adopting various illegal tactics including the use of violence.
He says this is what informed the flag bearer’s “all die be die” remarks. He said there were enough grounds for the opposition party to come to that conclusion.
“They (NDC) used it (violence) in Chereponi, they used it in Akwatia, they used it again in Atiwa by bringing people all the way from Tamale,” he said.
However, contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo this morning, the Member of Parliament for Adenta, Kojo Adu Asare, described the NPP as hypocrites who do not have any moral authority to accuse other political groupings of engaging in electoral violence.
He said the NDC which is a peaceful organization is committed to democratic governance and will not do anything untoward that will undermine the democratic gains the country has chalked over the years.
“After all we the NDC came to serve Ghanaians, if they decide to vote us out of power we will humbly accept their verdict, there is no point in shedding blood of a single Ghanaians to win power” he said.
Hon. Kojo Adu –Asare added that the National Democratic Congress will not be distracted by such frivolities by the NPP, but it is rather working hard to win the up-coming 2012 elections.
