Former president John Dramani Mahama has blamed President Akufo Addo for the recent violence at Dormaa after some alleged New Patriotic Party (NPP) thugs attacked people at a registration centre in the area.
According to Daily Graphic, the incident happened during the Electoral Commission’s mop-up of the voter’s registration exercise. It reported the death of one man, Kofi Labatu who is a member of the NPP after gunshots were fired. It however, remains unclear how the chaos began.
Reacting to the incidence on Facebook, part of Mahama’s post read: “It is increasingly clear that having nurtured and democratized violence by his all “die be die” mantra, Nana Akufo-Addo has lost control of his own party, just as he has lost control of many sectors of the economy in Ghana.”

I condemn the violence at the EC Voters registration center during the mop up exercise in Dormaa on Sunday. I join the rest of our well meaning compatriots to mourn the loss of the NPP activist who was killed by gunshots discharged by armed thugs of his own party.
It is crystal clear now for all to see that armed NPP thugs are running rampage everywhere and this portends a clear and present danger to our democracy. Violence must never be an option in our democracy. Unfortunately, it is increasingly clear that having nurtured and democratized violence by his all “die be die” mantra, Nana Akufo-Addo has lost control of his own party, just as he has lost control of many sectors of the economy in Ghana.
In January 2021, a new administration under my leadership will fix our economy and restore justice and peace to our beloved Ghana.
