There was near pandemonium at the Headquarters of the National Democratic Congress following exchanges by supporters of the ex-first lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and those of President John Mills.
The near violence was sparked by supporters of the Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) who went picketing at the party’s headquarters where the ex-first lady had gone to be vetted for the party’s flagbearership position.
The supporters who were said to have come from Agona Kwanyarko brandished placards in which they declared unflinching support for president John Mills.
Some of the placards read: “Atta Mills don’t mind him.” “Atta Mills we love you.”
The action by the GAME supporters angered followers of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings - Friend of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR)- who hurriedly massed up in support of the ex-first lady.
A leading member of FONKAR, Issaka Amoaning accused GAME supporters of fomenting trouble.
He told Joy News GAME supporters who claimed to have been sent by their spokesperson Barbera Asamoah, had no business to be present at the party’s Head Quarters at a time when Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings is being vetted.
He said he and his colleagues had to “scatter” the GAME supporters in order to bring peace at the party’s head quarters.
Issaka Amoaning also accused national executives of the party and leading members of GAME of being behind the ploy to embarrass Mrs Rawlings.
According to him, he saw some of the used placards in the office.
When contacted, the spokesperson of GAME, Barbera Serwa Asamoah denied knowledge of any picketing by supporters of President Mills.
She said it will be strange for her to organise people from Agona Kwanyarko to come and demonstrate against the ex-first lady in Accra.
