He said: “You (Collins Dauda) are contesting a woman, and you’re having to employ guns, harmful weapons and the use of macho men in order to win? It is a shame and a disgrace.
"What kind of a man are you then? You are employing all of these shameful tactics, not against a fellow man, but, against a woman. This is a disgrace. When such things happen, it means you have already lost.”

Akufo-Addo made the comments on the back of attacks against NPP members in the Asutifi South and Odododiodioo constituencies.
Both constituencies has been designated as two of the over 5000 violent prone areas by the National Security ahead of the December vote.
Akufo-Addo said regardless of the sponsored violence against the NPP parliamentary nominee, Cecilia Amoah, residents of Hwidiem and Asutifi South will vote out the NDC, in both presidential and parliamentary elections.
According to him, "the people of Asutifi South will not allow themselves to be cowed by violence, nor will they allow violent people to superintend over them. No one can be kept away from voting. Everybody is going to have the chance to cast their vote in this election."

He also cautioned against complacency, saying, "until the ballots are cast and counted, we should not be complacent. If you want change, you have to go and vote for the change."
