  "account": "The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied accusations from the National Democratic Congress (NPP) that they deliberately targeted its Ho regional office fence for demolition. The dispute has centered around the removal of a fence wall at the NPP Ho Central Constituency Office near the Ho Sports Stadium. James Geh, a spokesperson for the NPP, claimed the action was deliberate and said his party would undertake similar projects if it returned to government. The NDC, however, says the removal was part of an exercise to clear structures within a designated road corridor as part of the government's Big Push infrastructure program. This exercise, according to Volta Regional Communications Officer Sorkpa Kafui Agbleze, was not targeted at any political party but was based on the location of structures within the road reservation. The NDC stated that other structures within the affected area, including parts of the AME Zion Church and private properties, were also removed. The party maintained that the way the exercise was conducted aimed to minimize damage, taking down removable iron works before demolishing the fence. The NDC rejected accusations of political victimization and urged parties to avoid politicizing infrastructure development works.",
