There is a disagreement between the ruling NPP and the opposition NDC in the Ahafo Ano South West District of the Ashanti Region.
The dispute revolves around the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP)equipment, with the NDC questioning the presence of the governing party’s posters on the machines.
In response, some NDC members have covered portions of the equipment with their party’s posters in an attempt to level the playing field.
Iddrisu Amidu, Ahafo Ano South West NDC constituency Deputy Youth Organiser shared his concerns with some journalists who were present at the scene.
“This district assembly building was constructed under the NDC, but we didn’t put any of our posters on it because we recognized it was funded by taxpayers’ money. So why has the NPP pasted their posters on the DRIP equipment? The equipment was purchased using the Common Fund, which belongs to every citizen in the country. That’s why we came here this morning to paste our posters on the machines as a response to the NPP’s actions.”
He further said, “although we did not remove the NPP’s posters before placing ours, the NPP is now taking down our posters. As a result, we will announce our next course of action soon”.
“We’ve heard that NPP supporters are removing our posters, even though we didn’t remove theirs. We, the NDC, know what to do next, but we won’t disclose our next course of action publicly,” he stated.
Attempts to get response from the leadership of the NPP in the constituency have been unsuccessful.
