The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly denounced the vandalism and looting of state property that followed its victory in the 2024 presidential elections.

In a statement issued on Monday, December 8, 2024, the party expressed profound disappointment, labeling the actions as intolerable and a threat to the nation’s stability.

The NDC attributed some of these actions to overly exuberant supporters who let their enthusiasm for the party’s overwhelming success in the elections lead to disorderly behavior.

"Some of these acts of vandalism and looting of state properties, are reported to have been carried out by disgruntled supporters of the New Patriotic Party who are of the belief that their party Parliamentary Candidates hoarded state-procured food items, fertilizer and other materials which were meant to be distributed before the December 7 elections, as part of the NPP’s voter inducement strategy.

Also, some of these unfortunate incidents are reported to have been carried out by over-jubilant supporters of the NDC who have been carried away by the excitement of the party’s resounding victory in the just-ended Presidential and Parliamentary elections", it noted.

The party appealed to its supporters to celebrate with moderation and self-control.

"We wish to call on Ghanaians, especially the rank and file of the NDC, to exercise restraint and to go about their jubilations with a sense of responsibility," it noted.

The party emphasized its unwavering commitment to governance founded on probity, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law, assuring Ghanaians that acts of lawlessness will not be accepted under the new administration.

"The vandalism of state property, mob justice, and any form of lawless retribution have the potential to undermine the peace and stability of our dear nation, hence unacceptable," it added.
