Kasoa NDC Delegates Storm Police Command Over Alleged Arrest of Zongo Ward Youth Organizer
Kasoa NDC Delegates Storm Police Command after National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegates and party supporters in the Awutu Senya East Constituency protested at the Kasoa Divisional Police Command over the alleged arrest of the party’s Zongo Ward Youth Organiser
The supporters claim the arrest was ordered by the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Hon. Phillis Naa Koryoo, over comments the youth organiser allegedly made against her.
According to the aggrieved party members, the youth organiser committed no offence but merely expressed his opinion that the MP could be defeated in the NDC’s upcoming internal constituency elections.
Speaking to the media, the supporters accused the MP of using the police to intimidate and silence party executives and members who criticise her leadership or seek to hold her accountable.
They also compared the situation to the tenure of former Awutu Senya East MP Hawa Koomson, arguing that despite strong criticism and offensive remarks directed at her by NDC supporters while the party was in opposition, no arrests were made.
The protesters insisted that party members should be allowed to freely express their opinions, especially ahead of the NDC’s internal elections.
Meanwhile, the Constituency Secretary of the NDC in Awutu Senya East, Oteng Pabi, appealed for calm among party supporters.
He said he was surprised by reports of party members being arrested and harassed but assured supporters that the constituency executives would work to ensure the matter is resolved peacefully.
Oteng Pabi urged all party members to remain calm and allow the party leadership and relevant authorities to address the issue through the appropriate channels.
