The Ashanti Regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Francis Adomako, who is affectionately called Francois, has joined concerned Ghanaians to condemn the unlawful action by the irate Zongo youth of the NDC at Asante Mampong.

It would be recalled that some aggrieved supporters of the NDC, mostly the Zongo youth, stormed the party’s office at Mampong on Thursday,10th April 2025, vandalised the place and set it ablaze later.

Their action is said to have been triggered by a rumour that an Akan woman had been nominated as a municipal chief executive (MCE), though no official announcement has been made by the government.

But, speaking to “The New Trust” newspaper on Sunday, 13th April 2025, Francois described the action as condemnable, for which reason it should not be allowed to continue.

He said it was high time the NDC leadership, the President and the security agencies acted to prevent any imminent violence between various ethic groups.

Dr Adomako, who is also the Dean of all Regional Organisers, said the Zongo NDC members causing mayhem at Asante Mampong must be condemned by all peace-loving Ghanaians.

He said the irate youth took the laws into their hands just because they heard that an Asante was going to be named as MCE for Mampong.

Francois believes it is not only non-Asantes in the NDC at Mampong who helped the NDC to come to power. He noted that it is public knowledge that it is very difficult for an Asante-man to settle in a particular region, work for a particular party and be appointed as MCE or DCE for that district.

“As we speak, I have not heard the executives of the NDC in the constituency or regional executives criticising the actions of the youth,” he added.

“When the NPP was in power, we proposed that elections be conducted for MMDCEs in various districts but our opponents (NDC) opposed it and now the reality has dawned on them,” he recalled.
