These comments were made by the 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo - Addo, in reaction to the brutal assault meted out by officers of the Ghana Police Service
against unarmed civilians who embarked on a demonstration,
organised by some
pressure groups in Accra, on Wednesday, September 16.
It must therefore itself remain
organised and resist any
pressure to dissolve into the soft left, because its support is vital to people fighting imperialism, black people fighting racism, women protesting
against the assault on the welfare state, workers on strike and every other progressive struggle.
