Some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have stormed the office of Metro Mass Transit in Kumasi, protesting the alleged auctioning of old buses following the defeat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections.
A supporter at the scene, who spoke out about the situation, explained that their purpose was to prevent the auction from going ahead.
He claimed that a similar incident occurred after the NPP’s loss in 2008 when some NPP supporters allegedly set fire to government buildings such as the Masloc and Ministry of Foreign Affairs offices and stole government property.
“In 2008, when the NPP lost the elections, they set Masloc and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on fire.
Other government offices were also targeted, and a lot of state property was stolen. Now, they are trying to repeat the same thing, but we won’t let them,” the man was heard saying angrily.
The gathered crowd expressed their frustration, chanting in unison and vowing to prevent such actions from occurring in Bantama, a city in Kumasi.
