The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has served notice that it would not accept attempts to prevent Ghanaians living in Togo from participating in the upcoming general elections.
According to the NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia the opposition party will squarely meet any act of discrimination against people crossing into the country via land to vote.
Speaking at a rally in Ziope in the Agotime Ziope Constituency which lies on the Ghana-Togo border, he questioned the intentions of the ROPAL Law passed by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“So the logic they want us to understand is that if you are a Ghanaian and you are living in America and you fly to Kotoka International Airport, they will allow you to go and vote but if you are Ghanaian living in Togo and you want to come and vote in your hometown that one you are a Togolese, you are a stranger so we must not allow you to vote. We shall not accept that discrimination”, he said.
He urged electorates in the constituency that has been the traditional seat of the NDC to be steadfast as the governing NPP will devise means of ensuring their votes are suppressed by preventing their relatives from crossing over to vote.
