The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rubbished claims by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that they (NPP) are planning to ruin the ruling party’s Special Delegates Congress slated for the Kumasi Sports Stadium on August 30th.

The congress is to acclaim President John Dramani Mahama as the Presidential candidate for the NDC during the December elections.

Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC, Joseph Yamin, told Peace FM News on Tuesday that some supporters of the NPP are scheming to disrupt the congress. He accused the NPP of flooding the venue with posters of their flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo, a few days before the congress kicks off.

To him, it makes no sense for the NPP to paste their posters round the area after the NDC announced the venue as its congress grounds.

But in a sharp riposte on the same platform, the Ashanti Regional NPP Secretary, Sam Pyne, stressed that there is nowhere in the constitution that propounds that political parties should put the posters somewhere else.

He was quite emphatic that the NDC cannot determine when and where the NPP should mount its flyers and further explained that the posters are part of their political activity to make their party visible in all corners of the country.

Admittedly, he said, there were a few of their posters with the image of Nana Addo embossed on them on some electricity poles around Subin near the stadium and not within the Kumasi Sports Stadium.

“We all have to know that governance is not concert party, it is serious business and we have to be serious in everything we do. You cannot rule a nation based on lies and deception. We don’t need the NDC to tell us (NPP) where and when to paste our posters. We decided to paste our posters all over the country prior to our delegate’s congress so we have a few posters on electric poles...besides, the country's political party’s law gives us the leeway to display our flyers,” he said.
