The New Juaben South Constituency Chairman of the NDC, Salassie Amuzu, has strongly urged party supporters to desist from retaliating against members of the NPP occupying key positions at the assembly and the Regional levels.
His admonishing comes after a group of NDC supporters on Wednesday morning locked up offices occupied by known NPP executives at the New Juaben South Assembly.
Offices affected include National Identification Authority, National Service Scheme, National Disaster Management Organization, and TVET. At the Region level, the NSS office, Health Insurance, NADMO were also affected.
The Police however intervened to ensure law and order restored.
The group claimed their actions were in retaliation for similar incidents in 2016 and 2017, during which NPP supporters allegedly locked offices occupied by known NDC members, seized public toilets, and chased out NDC-affiliated assembly members following their victory in the 2016 elections.
However, Salassie Amuzu, the New Juaben South constituency chairman is urging calm among the supporters.
The incident occurred just a day after John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as President on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, following his victory in the 2024 elections.
The party leadership in New Juaben South has assured the public that measures are being put in place to prevent further incidents and ensure a smooth transition at the municipal level.
