The former Leader in a Facebook post said: “These calculated acts of “dehumanisation, disenfranchising Ghanaians and stripping them of their citizenship” must end. “The road President Akufo-Addo is taking our beautiful country through, using the military and party thugs to stop people from exercising their right to register and vote in the upcoming December elections, is dangerous and unacceptable,” he added.

John Dramani Mahama claimed never will this spectacle happen under a new NDC administration, saying “we will foster a spirit of peace and unity in our nation.”

Speaking on the alleged use of Party Thugs On Voltarians, Mahama pledged: “As Commander-in-Chief, I will not use our military in such a partisan manner to terrorize our own people, and in matters that are purely civil and dwell in the very heart of our constitutional democracy.”
