NPP accuses NDC of using inferior tactics in Assin North by-election
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using inferior tactics in the run-up to the Assin North by-election.
The NPP Communications Director, Richard Ahiagbah, said the NDC has been spewing lies to score cheap political points.
He accused the NDC of allegedly making up a video that was attributed to the NPP’s chairman for the Assin North constituency. The video claimed that the chairman had given up because the NPP would lose the by-election.
Mr. Ahiagbah, who is currently in Assin North, said the content of the video was false and an attempt by NDC members to sway the electorates to their camp.
