Demand Ofosu Ampofo’s resignation – NPP tells ‘good’ NDC members

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) wants the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to oust its current leadership after a leaked audio confirmed its use of party militias.

This follows the release of the secret recording of a meeting during which the National Chairman of the party Samuel Ofosu Ampofo is heard making explosive comments.

“What has happened is bad and ugly,” he said.
