Samuel Koku Anyidoho, a former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has questioned why former President John Dramani Mahama, the NDC’s flagbearer, was absent from the ‘Enough is Enough’ protest held by the party on September 17.
In a post on his X account, Anyidoho criticized Mahama and his family for not participating in the demonstration, accusing them of staying away while encouraging others to protest.
“So, after inciting NDC supporters onto the streets, JM and his family stayed at home huh? The monkeys should go and die for the baboons to stay alive and walk on blood to power huh? We live to see. Ghana shall NOT die.”
He expressed his frustration with a statement suggesting that the sacrifices of the protesters might be in vain.
The NDC’s demonstration was aimed at demanding an overhaul of the voter register to ensure credible elections.
National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia emphasized the importance of a transparent electoral process and warned of the threats facing Ghana’s democracy.
After the protest, Mahama addressed the issue on his X platform, highlighting that the demonstration was not merely about calling for an audit but was also about upholding justice, fairness, and democratic rights.
He urged the Electoral Commission to maintain the trust Ghanaians have placed in it.
Mahama also expressed gratitude to the NDC supporters and executives for their participation and reiterated the need for a transparent electoral process as he continued his campaign tour in the Ahafo Region.
