In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the NDC described the assaults as state-sponsored and demanded an end to the violence.
The party asserted its constitutional right to peaceful assembly and emphasized that intimidation would not silence them. The NDC stated that the violence against its members is an affront to democracy and a violation of the freedom of association guaranteed by the Constitution.
