The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant for Asunafo South, George Boakye is hinting of reprisal attacks if the spate of attack on his members does not stop.
According to him, the police has failed to offer them the needed protection in spite of numerous reports lodged following similar attacks on them by thugs suspected to be members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr. Boakye’s comments come after an NPP youth activist was assaulted at Sankore in the Asunafo North constituency by unknown men during the voter transfer exercise.
The victim, Amos Asare had his finger chopped off in the latest attack on Sunday which also left scores injured and offices of the Electoral Commission vandalized leading to the suspension of the exercise.
Speaking on Asempa FM Monday, the NPP Asunafo South parliamentary aspirant expressed worrying about the conduct of the police
He revealed that, the thugs outnumbered the few police officers detailed to the conflict area and had to flee for their lives when the attacks escalated.
George Boakye maintained that the NPP will win the Asunafo South seat despite the machinations by the NDC to cause mayhem in the area.
He added that, his supporters will be forced to retaliate if nothing is done about the situation.

it is clearly shows that president mahama and it ndc are violent and using every dirty tactics to rig this elections again as they did in 2012 when they started calling on NPP and Nana Addo to say on air that whatever the result may be he should accept it. Very soon they will start calling chiefs to advise Nana Addo to accept the result knowing they are going to RIG it.I still dont understand why would in a broad day light someone will slap somebody in police presence and the person walks freely, people destroys EC property, state property and are identified but still they are walking free, why, why why. when will this indiscipline stop. we need a strong institutions and governence. It seems the police institution has been compromised.
