Blame game after NPP, NDC supporters’ clash that killed one at Nkrankwanta [listen]

A former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Dormaa West Constituency in the Bono Region has been accused of ‘masterminding’ the clash between supporters of the New Patriotic Party and NDC at Nkrankwanta which has resulted in the death of one.

This is according to Acquah Ibrahim, the Youth Organiser of the NPP at Nkrankwanta. The former MP has denied the allegations.

 “If you want to know the person behind the violence at Nkrankwanta, then look no further because former MP, Vincent Oppong-Asamoah is the one. He has a track record of condoning and perpetuating violence against the NPP, particularly during his tenure as the MP,” he claimed.
