Stop intimidating opponents - NPP

Lambussie (Upper West) 24 May ?99

Mr Leapog Batieka, Lambussie constituency chairman of the NPP has appealed to the NDC campaign team in the area to stop harassing their opponents.

Speaking to newsmen at Lambussie, he called on the police to give equal opportunities to all the parties contesting the bye-election in the constituency.

According to Mr Batieka, the NDC campaign team is telling the electorate that should the NPP win the by election there would be looting and terrorism in the villages.

He also said the police are "inconsistent in granting permits" to party leaders to organise rallies.

" We were supposed to hold our rally today at Karni and the police were aware of that, but when we got there this afternoon, the NDC people had already mounted their gadgets and the police did not stop them," Mr Batieka said on Saturday.

He described the NPP candidate, Mr Anthony Baloroo, as a dynamic and hard working man who would win the election and "turn the constituency into a viable centre".
