Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, NDC’s National Chairman says no decision could have been better than pulling out of the by-elections at Ayawaso West Wuogon due to riots that erupted at the La Bawalashie polling station.
According to him the decision was not taken by him alone as some people think, but was arrived at a consultative emergency meeting held by some leading members of the party in the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary aspirant’s [Delali Kwesi Brempong] house on Thursday.
Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo in an interview with UTV’s Yaa Konamah said President Akufo-Addo and his party members should not think the NDC cannot also deploy strong vigilante groups as observed during the by-elections.
". . We are not cowards as the NPP claim, but providing decisive leadership roles according to the laws of our party to protect our own. Most people than we have here would have gotten themselves injured have we not pulled out," he lamented on UTV.
He also asked persons telling them to stop exaggerating on the matter to stop because they cannot continue an election seeing eight [8] of their people injured and being brutalized.
“We know some of our party members are not happy with the decision we took to pull out of the by-election, but some decisions need to be taken based on the information available to us,” he stressed.

Now the day is over: NDC: throughout your 27 year rule from the revolution to the last incompetent president JDM, Ghanaians have suffered a lot ; from the frogging of women in the open market areas to the killings of innocent people including a lactating Supreme Court mother. We are not going to sit down to turn Ghana into your stupi dity tactics. Next time no one will dare bring anybody to any polling station to cause mayhem. They will crash such trouble makers right at the source before it spreads out.
You retreated because you found the fight to be tougher for you than expected ! why did you bring down azorka boys from Tamale? because you thought they were tougher than Ghana's security forces or you thought the Commander in chief was a minced meat that you could swallow easily hahahahaha! even the time of the dreaded P/ndc couldn't consume him but he organized the most biggest demonstration ever in our country when bullets were flying he was walking how much more you! cowards who have run into the ndc for protection are calling themselves we come from revolution when did John mahama take part in the revolution and what position did he hold during that time somebody remind me! If you are a man you join the army,you don't join them when they are celebrating their victory and call yourself a soldier! you are a coward finding a place to hide to save yourself! A man is who fight with lions and conquer! which one did John mahama do! Akufo Addo is known since military rule and made his voice heard everytime where was john mahama? Akufo Addo never joined the junta because he is not a coward but resisted and opposed he told the military leaders his mind where was mahama? coward and now hiding behind vigilantes for power! Brave men live with brave men Akufo Addo was a civilian who showed bravery in time of the military rule! hence Former president Rawlings and Capt Kojo Tsikata love for the man! Ghanaians have nothing to fear for our President is a brave and courageous man who will protect the citizens and your properties! that is his work and he will do it!John mahama want everything cheap, he joined ndc when others have sacrificed their lives already and he is enjoying with his both hands ,leaving out even those who laid down their lives and now want go distabilize Ghana because of his greed! nons&ense!
NDC is just preparing the minds of their stup1?d f00?l1sh soldiers for voilence in 2020. If you lobe your life, pls dont follow these politricians. Let their family members fight for them.
Luther, were you in Ghana when ndc displayed their special forces ,who were they? ***barred word*** ! you are meeting your match! you ain't seen nothing yet. You thought NPP will fold their arms for you to misbehave all the time? enough is enough they are going to face you by the rule of law! who brought those guys from Tamale and for what? you got what you paid for! Akufo Addo will keep Ghana safe, that is the mandate the good people have given him ! send your Hawks with pot bellies and they will be crushed! if you want peace ,peace we give you but if you want violence you will regret this is an advise to the ndc! it is better you come out of your brutish attitude and behave like human beings else you get what you paid for ! the national security are paid to protect life and property so if ndc sent their Hawks and azorka boys to destroy ballot boxes and maim Ghanaians they will see the other end of life first! this time they got thd bullets on their legs another time may be fatal so those guys must be careful ! it is better to live and enjoy life than to die for somebody whose children are enjoying riding speed boats and you walking dead! ndc nkwaseafuo dooso dodo! next time those injured look at your scars and think if you did good to yourself! John mahama and Asiedu Nketiah and others children are enjoying life abroad and you from a poor home dying foo*lishly.
Let us all be fair with ourselves. Do we really think if NDC in government had used masked security officers to supervise the 2016 election, nana addo would have been president? Of course NOT! He wouldn't have been anywhere near the presidency, he would probably had been a refugee in a neighboring country. So for Mahama to lose an election and hand over peacefully to you, one would have thought that you would be wise enough to protect the peace of the nation. But you chose the opposite. Shame on you, Mr president
An Elder of my church (COP?) , come again! You pulled out because of you EVIL plan did not work. NDC are nation destroyers!
You saw the National Security guys. Too advice yourself
liar. You planned what happened. You and who were going to fight. So were you expecting to win the seat. Next time bring your Azorka and hawk macho guys and you will see your smoothness level
