A group calling itself the Aggrieved National Democratic Congress members have expressed disgust at alleged threats by the leadership of the party, if it should loose the December election.

According to them, speaker after speaker at the party meetings keeps on threatening the members that should the NDC lose the elections, the opposition would arrest some of them, kill them or drive them out of the country and make life unbearable for them.

A statement signed by Mr Victor Adu Mensah for the Aggrieved Members and copied to the press, said the group was fed up with such threats and intimidation.

It said members of the party are not used to resorting to the press to express their dissatisfaction when things go wrong but said they are now using the medium of the press to express their disgust at such threats.

The statement said if the leadership of the NDC has anything to hide, they should mind their own business and leave the members alone to examine their current status as Ghanaians and vote wisely since they are free to use their conscience this time.

The group touched on sensitive issues, which they claimed had brought about discontentment from Ghanaians, saying they are not a party to all these.

"They only come to us during election time and promise us millions of cedis which never come any way," the group stated.

The aggrieved members called on the leadership to stop the psychological warfare because they are now matured.
