Drama unfolded at the Central Regional office of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following a disagreement between Regional Minister Eduamoah Okyere Ekow Panyin and the party’s Regional Chairman, Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu.
Reports suggest the disagreement was over the venue for the upcoming regional elections.
According to Citi News, the disagreement reportedly escalated into a heated confrontation, prompting police officers to intervene to prevent the situation from getting out of hand.
A video circulating on social media shared by Citi News showed police officers stepping in as the two party officials engaged in an exchange during the meeting.
Reports alleged that the Regional Minister faced threats of attack from some individuals associated with Prof. Asiedu while attempting to intervene in the disagreement.
Meanwhile, other accounts circulating on social media have alleged that Mr Eduamoah attempted to physically assault the Regional Chairman during the confrontation.
The disagreement reportedly centred on the choice of venue for the NDC’s upcoming regional elections, although further details surrounding the dispute remain unclear.
In other news, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said the party’s real danger is not the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Mustapha Gbande, the NDC’s biggest threat ahead of the 2028 elections is the NDC itself.
The NDC man argued that the party’s fortunes will be largely determined by how it manages its internal relationships, members and governance.
He further urged the NDC to focus less on the NPP’s newly elected executives and pay greater attention to maintaining unity within its own ranks.
Gbande said the party’s handling of its internal structures and relationships would determine its success in the next general election.
He denied suggestions that the NPP’s new leadership poses a major threat to the NDC.
Speaking on Onua TV’s Onua Maakye, Mustapha Gbande stated, “The real danger to the NDC is not the NPP conference; it is the NDC and its governance”.
“The danger can only come from within our own house rather than from the current crop of executives chosen by our political opponents,” he said.
“How we manage our relationships, our members and our structures ahead of 2028 is what will determine our success,” he stated.
“Our biggest threat is not the NPP,” he said.
“If the NPP believes violence is the path back to power, the NDC should not be underestimated,” he said.
