Violence marred the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) branch elections and left one person with a deep cut on his head at Techiman South.
Images shared on various social media platforms confirmed that the ongoing branch elections of the opposition NDC was characterized by bloodbath.
Sharing an opinion on the issue, Dr. Samson Anoma stated that the bloodbath in the NDC is as a result of the “boot for boot” comment declared by the party’s 2020 flagbearer, Mr. John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking on Wontumi TV, Dr. Anoma stated that “the boot for boot statement by Mahama has started in his house. Mahama said they (NDC) were born out of revolution.”

Mahama preaches boot for boot
Prior to the 2020 elections, Mr Mahama gave a warning at a meeting with supporters of the NDC in the Adaklu Constituency. He stated that “We are not going to joke in 2020 and I’m sounding a warning to the NPP – we are going to match them boot for boot.”
“I want to sound a caution that NDC has a revolutionary root and when it comes to unleashing violence no one can beat us to that. It is just that we midwifed this country’s democracy and that is why we must be the first to respect it. That is why we are acting as a party that is docile and respecting the rule of law. But if we believe that the government cannot protect our people and we believe that the government is using its vigilante groups and illegal forces to intimidate and harass and injure our people, then we may have to advise ourselves,” he added.
