Vice President, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumiahas expressed concern over what he described as "lawlessness and thuggery" being perpetrated by some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the announcement of election results.
In a statement issued on December 9, Dr Bawumia called on President-elect John Dramani Mahama to demonstrate statesmanship by reining in his supporters to ensure peace and unity in the country. "I wish to call on the President-elect, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, to exhibit statesmanship by reining in his supporters in order to preserve the peace and unity of the country," Dr Bawumia urged.
According to the NPP presidential candidate, there have been incidents of NDC members besieging collation centres, allegedly forcing declarations in favor of NDC parliamentary candidates while others have vandalised state agencies.
