“[The NDC] notes with concern a direct accusation made against the NDC by a US representative without recourse to the facts of the incident. We believe that if our diplomatic friends had been a bit more painstaking and diligent in their inquiry into the incident, they would have become aware of the facts and not be subject to manipulation by the maliciously efficient propaganda machine of the NPP…We believe that our international partners must be more diligent in seeking the truth rather than relying on biased political and media propaganda.

"The NDC notes with interest the threats issued by the two missions to revoke visas and other such diplomatic actions and wonders why similar threats or sanctions have not been considered after previous incidents when the NPP and its supporters have been engaged in inciting or instigating violence, including hate speech.
Background
On Sunday November 13, supporters of the governing party and the opposition clashed outside the residence of Nana Akufo-Addo, the leader of the opposition. This happened after a health procession organised by the NDC reached the house where stones and bottles were thrown. Shots were also fired by security of the Akufo-Addo.
