Mustapha Alhassan, the organizer for the Manhyia South constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, is set to attend the police headquarters today. This follows his being sought after due to a video circulating where he made threats of electoral violence before the December elections.
The regional leadership of the party will accompany him along with legal representation, expressing their discontent with the summons.

Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the NDC’s Ashanti Regional Secretary, mentioned in an interview on Adom FM’s morning program, Dwaso Nsem, that the party is fully equipped to manage any legal processes at the police headquarters.
He also indicated their readiness to take firm action, potentially including the arrest of Mustapha Alhassan, a member of the NPP who was also featured on the program.
“We are going with our lawyers, and we are ready for whatever legal tussle. If we need to file a counter-complaint for them to arrest the NPP official, we will do the same, and if we need to perform a citizen’s arrest and bring the NPP official to the police, we will do that” he said.
He stressed the importance of maintaining the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, adding that Mustapha Alhassan should not be prejudged in this matter.
In his view, Mustapha Alhassan is a victim of misreporting because he was responding to his co-panelist but did not mean anything he said

“From our investigations and checks, the officer was only serving notice to the NPP official that anybody who rigs the 2024 elections is only preparing a platform for blablabla… and so it was a response to the NPP official, and we can’t be prejudicial condemning someone without hearing him out” Dr. Amoakohene added.
