The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has no para-security forces or groups, its deputy general secretary Koku Anyidoho has said.

His reaction comes amid renewed calls for a ban on party-affiliated vigilante groups in the country. Inspector General of Police John Kudalor had previously promised to outlaw such associations in the country ahead of elections this year. At the National Police Command conference on Friday June 24, the Minister for the Interior, Mr Prosper Bani, added his voice to such calls by calling for the banning of such politically-aligned groupings.
