We’ll not ‘allow coercive powers of the state to be used against us’ – Asiedu Nketiah

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the NDC, has warned the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies to be cautious ahead of the 2024 general elections.

Speaking on June 8 after the release of NDC’s parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya East, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, from police custody, he asserted that no law was created to intimidate citizens.

He vowed that the NDC would resist any attempts to coerce its members.

Okunor's detention on June 7 sparked outrage and protests from NDC supporters, with accusations of political persecution by the ruling NPP.
