A statement by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has condemned "the threats of death against the Minority Leader, Osaher Alexander Afenyo-Markin; the National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye; and Hon. Frank Annor Dompreh".

NPP identified "the 1st National Vice Chairman of the NDC, Chief Sofo Azorka, and Alhaji Abdul Wahab Amadu, the Abuakwa North Constituency Communication Officer of the NDC" as culprits.

The main opposition party further condemned "the unprovoked physical attack of its 3rd National Vice Chairman Alhaji Osman Masawudu, by Chief Sofo Azorka and his notorious hoodlums".

NPP emphasised, "Such violent conduct by no mean a person than a National Officer of the ruling party and a constituency officer diminishes the gains of our democracy and has the potential to create further insecurity in the country in the face of Ghana's recent decline in the Global Peace Index Ranking."

"The Party will formally lodge complaints with the Ghana Police Service against the mentioned individuals," the statement, signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, revealed.

"We are also calling on the Inspector General of Police, as part of his post-election actions, to immediately arrest and investigate Chief Sofo Azorka, Alhaji Abdul Wahab, and any other person captured in the videos widely circulated in the media."

"The recklessness of the actions of Chief Sofo Azorka and Alhaji Abdul Wahab ought to be properly investigated and punished," the part emphasised, in conclusion.
