Train accident truck driver not an NDC member - North Tongu NDC dismisses 'NPP propaganda'

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch in the North Tongu Constituency has refuted claims on social media that the driver of a wrongly parked truck, that caused an accident involving newly imported trains, was a member of the NDC.

In a statement issued on April 19, 2024, the Constituency Secretary said: "THE CULPRIT OF THE TRAIN CRASH INCIDENT WAS NEITHER A BRANCH CHAIRMAN NOR SECRETARY IN NORTH TONGU CONSTITUENCY.".

The statement clarified further that aside from not being an official of the NDC, Abel Dzidotor was not even a registered member according to an inventory of over 1300 members in the constituency.

"We have also noticed the bogus and misleading reportage from NEWSGH360 that the culprit “Abel Dzidotor” is a Branch Secretary of the NDC.

For emphasis, the culprit does not hold any position within the 152 branches of the Constituency.

"We hereby state unequivocally that, out of the One thousand three hundred and sixty-eight (1368) branch executives in North Tongu, no one bears such names or the arbitrary positions assigned to them," it added.

Some pro-government accounts on X and Facebook alleged that Dzidotor was an official of the NDC, as they tried to link political motivations to the action of the driver.
