The NPP has criticised the Voice of the People Party (VPP) for allegedly disrupting election campaigns of the NPP. It also said that such actions proved that the VPP was frustrated.
“We strongly condemn the action of the VPP and its supporters for disrupting our election campaigns and for also using foul and filthy languages against our candidate,” NPP spokesperson Himalaya M. Shangpliang said in a statement issued today.
“This goes to prove that the VPP is getting frustrated with the poor response it is getting from the people. The VPP has failed to convince the people with its hollow vision. Therefore, it is resorting to violence, intimidation and disruption of election meetings of the NPP,” he added.
Stating that the party is seeking the immediate intervention of the Election Commission against the leadership of the VPP for disrupting election campaigns of the NPP, Shangpliang demanded action against the VPP “because disrupting the election campaign of other political parties is in violation of ECI’s guidelines and objective to conduct a free and fair election”.
