The National Democratic Congress has denied that the Member of Parliament for Asutifi South, Mr Collins Dauda, was involved in disturbances in the ongoing limited registration exercise.
"The NDC condemns in no uncertain terms the unprofessional haste of the Ghana Police Service to publish the so-called arrest of the Member of Parliament for Asutifi South, and create the impression as though he has committed a crime," a statement issued in Accra and signed by the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Mr Sammy Gyamfi, has said.
"We wish to place on record that, at no point was the Member of Parliament for Asutifi South, Collins Dauda, present at the Kukuom registration centre on Saturday, 11th May, 2024. Contrary to the claim by the Ghana Police Service, Collins Dauda was busily monitoring the ongoing registration exercise in his Constituency, Asutifi South, and was nowhere near the incident at Kukuom, which is located in the Asunafo South constituency," the statement said.
"The National Democratic Congress reiterates our commitment to peace in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise. We are a law-abiding political party committed to respecting the laws of the country. Our Parliamentary Candidates, agents and supporters throughout the country have so far comported themselves in the ongoing exercise, even in the face of extreme provocation and in some cases, violent attacks," it said.
