The National Youth Organiser of the largest opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has indicated that the party will instruct its supporters to take over collation centres during the 2028 elections, just as the then-opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) allegedly did in the 2024 elections.
Speaking in an interview with Asaasepa Radio, the youth leader stated that he would ensure the NPP replicates every move and strategy deployed by the NDC to win the last election.
“Let us get to 2028. The way Sammy Gyamfi sat at the NDC party headquarters, held press conferences, and instructed party supporters to take over collation centres — we will do the same. Let me tell you why: when we were in office, if any action led to someone’s death, the government was blamed. It would be said that we went into elections and people died.
In 2020, when people died in Techiman South, Nana Akufo-Addo was blamed. So I was quite careful during this particular election to ensure we weren’t blamed for causing any deaths. But I have realised that the NDC does not give a damn about anything,” Salam Mustapha said.
He further disclosed his intention to revive the party’s vigilante groups, such as the Invisible Forces, Delta Forces, and Bolga Bulldogs, to provide security for the party.
“As long as I remain a national executive of this party, we will never say that we have disbanded groups like the Invisible Forces or Bulldogs. These are not vigilante groups; they are party members. Don’t they vote? Even if they are vigilantes, we love them.
“We will bring everybody back. One of the proposals I am going to sponsor is to formalise them within the party — to establish a security unit that provides protection from the national to the constituency level. There are certain things I cannot say publicly,” he added.
