Officials of the New Patriotic Party in the Volta Region have accused members of the opposition National Democratic Congress of masterminding the removal of the posters of NPP presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo.
Posters of the NPP flag-bearer are being defaced in the Volta Region by an unidentified group of people.
Party officials say most of Akufo-Addo’s posters in the regional capital, Ho, and its environs have been destroyed.

Meanwhile a 19-member regional campaign monitoring team has been inaugurated in Ho. The team will assess the progress of the party’s campaigns in the city and its environs.
