It appears that Mr. Annan, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is alleging several grievances against the Effutu Municipal Assembly and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding campaign activities and alleged brutalities during elections. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
-
Demolition of Billboards: Mr. Annan claims that billboards he intended to use for personal and party campaign activities were demolished by the Effutu Municipal Assembly. He asserts that despite paying the necessary fees, the assembly allowed the NPP to erect his opponent's billboards in the same spots.
-
Concerns about Violence: Mr. Annan expresses concern that these actions could incite violence. He questions why the National Peace Council has remained silent despite his protests, suggesting they might be waiting for violence to occur before taking action.
-
Threat of Self-Defense: He warns that the NDC may have no choice but to defend itself if these actions continue.
-
Alleged Election Violence: Mr. Annan alleges widespread violence during the District Assembly Elections, accusing the NPP of bringing in military personnel to attack and brutalize NDC sympathizers. He provides specific incidents of alleged violence, including assaults on polling agents and journalists.
-
Police Response: Mr. Annan claims to have reported these incidents to the police but implies dissatisfaction with the lack of action taken.
Overall, Mr. Annan's statements suggest a tense political environment in the Effutu Constituency, with allegations of unfair treatment, violence, and inadequate response from authorities.
