The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in North Tongu has strongly refuted allegations circulating on social media linking one of its members to the recent train crash caused by a wrongly parked truck.

In a statement released on April 19, 2024, the Constituency Secretary clarified, "THE CULPRIT OF THE TRAIN CRASH INCIDENT WAS NEITHER A BRANCH CHAIRMAN NOR SECRETARY IN NORTH TONGU CONSTITUENCY." The statement attributed these claims to "NPP propagandists and publicists to hoodwink the masses."

Further addressing the issue, the statement emphasised that the accused individual, Abel Dzidotor, was not only non-affiliated with the NDC but also not a registered member among the 1300+ members in the constituency.

"We have also noticed the bogus and misleading reportage from NEWSGH360 that the culprit 'Abel Dzidotor' is a Branch Secretary of the NDC. For emphasis, the culprit does not hold any position within the 152 branches of the Constituency."

The statement went on to clarify that out of the 1368 branch executives in North Tongu, no one bore the name or positions falsely attributed to Dzidotor.Amidst allegations from certain pro-government sources on X and Facebook attempting to politicize the incident, Dzidotor received a six-month jail sentence on Friday, April 19, after admitting guilt to three out of four charges, including inconsiderate driving and causing unlawful damage.
