The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned that President Akufo-Addo and his cohorts will not get away with the “premeditated, cynical and shameful subterfuge to subvert the electoral process and undermine the growth of our democracy.”
In a statement signed by its National Chairman, Dr. Kofi Portuphy, the NDC said it will hit the street to register its displeasure with dismissal of Charlotte Osei after the burial of late Amissah Arthur on July 27th.
He reiterated that the party is prepared to take decisive steps to register their revulsion in the strongest possible terms against this flagrant abuse of the legal process
Below is the full statement:
NDC APPEALS FOR CALM AND ASSURES OF MASSIVE RESISTANCE TO PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY AFTER THE FUNERAL RITES OF H.E. KWESI BEKOE AMISSAH-ARTHUR
The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has noted the widespread condemnation, outrage and general agitation over the government's machinations at the Electoral Commission.
We wish to assure all party members and the entire nation that the NDC remains committed to safeguarding our democracy, which we have all toiled for and nurtured. The NDC will therefore resist the deliberate attempt by the Akufo-Addo Government to abuse constitutional processes with the sole objective of manipulating the electoral process.
While acknowledging the legitimacy of the enormous pressure from the rank and file to exercise our inalienable constitutional right by demonstrating against this blatant assault on our democracy, we wish to renew our earlier appeal for all to remain calm until after the funeral of our fallen hero, the former Vice President of Ghana, H.E. Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur.
We wish to affirm our strong resolve that, the NDC and our democratic allies in fulfillment of our constitutional obligations will surely take decisive steps to register our revulsion in the strongest possible terms against this flagrant abuse of the legal process after we have accorded our Comrade a befitting send off on 27th July, 2018.
The leadership understands the restlessness among party members and the good people of Ghana in general. Please be assured that President Akufo-Addo and his collaborators will not be allowed to get away with the premeditated, cynical and shameful subterfuge to subvert the electoral process and undermine the growth of our democracy.
Signed,
Dr. Kofi Portuphy
(National Chairman)

WHAT WILL YOU DO? THE COURTS ARE THERE FOR YOU TO USE. JUST BLOWING COLD-HOT AIR.
Mr Portuphy you are not a family member of Amissah Arthur so do not wait till the funeral finish, you and your cohorts should start the demonstration now and continue till 2020. Afiafitor,
MAASERE SAAAAAAAAAAAA, AWOW NDC, AS SOMEBODY SAID HERE, YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE STREET FOREVER AND EVER CHARLOTE IS GOOOOOOOOOONE, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Portuphy Kofi, should have stopped ***barred word*** NADMO. Does he remember he looted saaaaaaaaaaaaaa at NADMO and NADMO collapsed? When Mahama was also ***barred word***, he should have told him to stop it because it has consequences. You were ***barred word*** and had Charlotte on the hook for $12 million dollars to steal Ghanaian's mandate for you to continue ***barred word***, and you are saying, you will deal with how or what? Tell those hiding in the reeds who are whispering things into your ears, to go back to wherever they have come from because in this present new Africa, with the anti-corruption platform, the only dealing with you, that is going to happen is within yourselves and if they have any help to give you, they should help you because, the anti-corruption platform is as strong as anything here in Ghana and in the whole of Africa. That is what you need to deal with and you need help.
This people think Ghana is theirs anaaaa They always make unnecessary comment. If u guys are ready to storm stree, we too are ready to prosecute her. Your false accusations and demonstration will put u into opposition forever NAD ever. U wreckers people. Incompetent mahama and his ***barred word*** ministers and mps
Eiii Ghana 'wura nom', 3y3 as3m oooo. What can you do apart from insulting people. Why are you fighting for the commissioner alone and not talking about her two deputies. You see your life. S h a m e o n y o u NDC
Am just wondering if part of the profit from the contracts was contributed to the NDC. If you care to know you cannot reinstate her but urge you to continue to campaign vigorously. These are some of the things which made you lose miserably. Instead of concentrating on serious your attention is on frivolous issues which does not add vote to you. If you continue to do this trust me you will lose again this time not miserably but also successfully.
THE NDC IS JUST AS INCOMPETENT AS CHARLOTTE OSEI AND THEREFORE THEY WILL CRY ON ROOF TOPS TO SHOW HOW THEY MISS HER.. WITH ALL THE CHARGES AGAINST CHARLOTTE OSEI DUE TO HER CORRUPT TENDENCIES IF THE NDC IS NOT ASHAMED TO BACK SUCH A NATION WRECKER IN HER OWN RIGHT THEN THE NDC ARE NOT FIT TO BE IN GOVERNMENT.I AM NOT SURPRISE THOUGH BECAUSE THE NDC WILL ONLY RULE IN A BACKWARD COUNTRY LIKE GHANA.IN OTHER PROGRESSIVE AFRICAN COUNTRIES THE NDC WOULD CEASE TO EXIT. YET TIME ALONE WILL TELL.
Stop de ***barred word*** n focus 4 2028.She's gone 4eva.We've taken our GH bak.Go 2 HELLLLLLL
LET THE NDC BRING IT ON, AND THEY WILL SEE MEN AT LARGE. SOMEBODY MUST TELL THE NDC THAT SILENCE IS GOLDEN, THAT IS WHY SOME OF US HAVE KEPT VERY QUITE. THE NDC SAY THEY WILL MAKE THE STATE GHANA UNGOVERNABLE FOR THE NPP. GHANAIANS ARE WATCHING THEM KEENLY. LET THEM BRING IT ON AND THEY WILL MEET MEN THEY HAVE NOT MET BEFORE
