Chief Sofo Azorka sent early warning signal to the aggrieved party supporters who recently threatened to burn party properties in Tamale to rescind their intention or incur his wrath. The angry youth raised alarm over some guidelines issued by the NDC National Executives in connection with the impending internal elections. They issued a three day ultimatum to the National Executives to reverse its directive that all those aspiring to contest the internal elections should be those who have previously occupied various offices. The said agitated youth threatened to burn the NDC regional office in Tamale on Thursday 10, July 2014, if the National Executive Council ignored their plea. Irritated Chief Sofo Azorka exclusively told Citi News the agitators will regret if they dared to activate their agenda. He announced October 2, 2014 as the day slated for the regional elections.
