National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, Sammy Awuku has asked the National Democratic Congress to go to court and seek redress and stop the street protests.
He urged the leadership of the NDC to take a cue from what the NPP did in 2012.
Speaking to Citi News, Sammy Awuku said “In all honesty, I feel the pain of the NDC youth and supporters, but I disagree with them on their approach. I am not saying the NPP are saints because we were in a similar instant in 2012 but the party leadership as quickly as possible galvanized the base of the party, addressed the people, and then gave them hope of heading to the court but up to date, the reason why you have these protests ongoing is that, the NDC does not believe that they have to end this case in court but believes Jean Mensa must overturn the results which have already been gazetted.”
“So how do you seek redress on the streets unless you are telling me that the new form of democracy is on the streets. I agree that it is right to protest but those rights must also be within the confinement of our laws.” he continued.
He also said that the protests by the opposition NDC have caused some discomfort for the governing party.
“The NDC protests have put a lot of strain and stress on the NPP leadership because many of our supporters also wanted to end on the streets to challenge the NDC in what they are doing which may lead to a point of no return.” Sammy Awuku indicated.
Some supporters of the National Democratic Congress have been demonstrating across the country to register their displeasure of the December 7 general elections.
