Awal Mohammed, the top National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communicator in the Ashanti Region who had defected to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is living in fear after some hidden faces bombarded his mobile phone with threatening calls.
The former National Deputy Communications Director of the NDC Zongo Caucus claimed that he started receiving those threatening calls from unknown people the very day he crossed carpet from the NDC to pitch camp with the NPP.
“Some people, who I don’t know in person, have been calling my mobile phone to threaten me since last night and I always cut their lines immediately they start to issue those threats”, Awal, who is very outspoken, said on Hello FM in Kumasi.
The former NDC man stated emphatically that his decision to leave the ruling political party is non-negotiable, stressing that the threatening words being targeted at him would not get him scared to stop campaigning for the NPP to win the polls.
He submitted that nobody influenced or pressurized him to quit the NDC for the NPP, stating that it is his constitutional right to join any political party of his choice therefore nobody could intimidate or threaten him on his choice for the NPP.
Awal also disclosed that some known NDC members have also been calling him on phone to plead with him to return to the NDC but he stressed that Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP can develop the country better so those NDC members should rather follow him to the NPP.
He said the NPP did not coerce him with any offer to join them explaining that, he only realized that the NPP has better policies for developing the deprived Zongo areas and the country at large, hence his decision to join them.
Awal whose exit from the NDC had generated hullabaloo in the ruling NDC in the Ashanti Region, stated that he is ever ready to take up any role the NPP leadership would assign him during the campaign process.

@Efo Mawuli-I agree totally with you esp. points (7), (8) and (9). Well stated.
THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THIS STORY. NDC HAS NO TIME FOR THIS. AWAL I WILL ACCOMMODATE YOU IN MY HOUSE IF YOU WANT JUST LEAVE YOUR NUMBER
The NPP and Awal Mohammed will NOT be intimi*dated!! This is the power of Democracy (which the NPP will protect and defend against tyranny).No member of the NDC should make any mistake of harming him, the NPP has the tools and the capacity to hunt them down. We take care of our own! Moving forward, Awal Mohammed and others like him will be very vocal about how they feel about the economy, and how Inc*ompetent and Co*rrupt this John Mahama led administration is. CHANGE IS COMING and some members of the NDC should be prepared to go to Nsawam! The force we saw at the Trade Fair is just a 0.5% of what the NPP fraternity is made up of. We are ready and we are determined to protect and defend DEMOCRACY at all cost! Make no mistake..The future is bright and will be prosperous under an Akuffo-Addo led administration. #ChangeIsComing #MoreJobs&Prosperity #WeAreWatching #GodBlessGhana [email protected]
My message to you the voter. 1. Please note that you can vote because you are matured to take your OWN decision and not what people say. 2. NDC/NPP don't want any other party to join them in the competition for the presidency, so that they alone can take all the glory. 3. The introduction of a 3rd political force will make the electoral landscape more competitive. 4. No vote is a waste unless it was not cast properly and cannot be counted. 5. Be happy for the opportunity to vote for any other party of your choice even if you were the only person that voted for that party. Have confidence in yourself. 6. In parliament, we hardly know who is telling the truth, whether NDC or NPP. A third group of MPs will give us a better understanding. 7. Don't sell your powerful vote for a small gift that cannot last you for 4 years. 8. Let's introduce another strong party. Even if they don't win but get enough votes like 15%, the one who will win will fear and do the right thing. 9. The benefits include reduction in corruption, arrogance, abusive language and abuse of power, e.g. release of Montie 3 from prison. 10. Strong competition will reduce the "protocol list" for employment opportunities and education of children in 1st class schools.
