The presidential candidate of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo has appealed to supporters of the party to remain calm and not engage in violence.
He told the supporters who had gathered at the party’s headquarters that election was not a matter of life or death and that there was no need for any violence.
The supporters were there to protest a possible concession following reports that leaders of the party were meeting to take a final decision to concede defeat.
They reportedly booed party bigwigs who came into the meetings, saying they will not subscribe to any decision to concede.
Curiously however, some of the supporters were of the view that Nana Akufo-Addo should concede.
Amisdts the protests, Nana Akufo-Addo appeared from the meeting and addressed the crowd.
He told them that the election was not over yet and thanked them for their astuteness and loyalty to the party.
“You are true supporters of the NPP,” he said, adding that they should not vandalise any property or attack any persons since that was not what the party was known for.
The presidential hopeful, whose chances appear very bleak now, appealed to the NDC to advise their supporters against perpetrating violence in the country.
