Three supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), committed suicide after Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was declared President of the 2016 December polls.
The three supporters, Sports Minister, Nii Lante Vanderpuiye said could not contain the pain of defeat hence they committing suicide.
The Minister said on Accra-based Starr FM Wednesday that the incident happened across the country. He however failed to name names and the locations where it happened.
“We have reports of people committing suicide. Yes, I’ve heard of about three across the country. People could just not stand it… Even me, I broke down,” he said.
Incumbent President John Mahama eventually conceded defeat to main rival Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP later in the evening of Friday, December 9 as the latter had taken a commanding lead of over a million votes difference with four of the 275 constituencies unaccounted for.
The President-elect, Nana Addo will take the oath of office to officially assume his position on January 7, 2017.
The defeat, he confessed came to the NDC party as a big blow hence the need on the part of the party leadership to “assuage the frustrations of supporters” of the NDC.
‘We’re in a comfortable lead’ is to “assuage the frustration of the supporters. [It was] to minimise their frustration because the anger that would have come with the straight [admittance] that we have lost, people would have committed suicide,” he said.
And three of the staunch supporters of the party, he said could still not contain the defeat, hence committing suicide.
Some disappointed supporters of the NDC also wept uncontrollably when the President went to Somanya to cut sod for the construction of the Eastern University.

You see, these are some of their wild propaganda and lies, fed to Ghanaians in all these years, Nii Lantey , is it rumor or factual, a whole minister , tell us where those incidents happened, You can't provide any lead information, even in opposition, you are still peddling forcehood , you are one of the characters that sent the party to oppposition
This is the meal with which they served Ghana for 8 years - inverted and warped propaganda. Suicide in today's social media permeated Ghana and only Nii Lante knows? None of the many radio stations reported it. Worse, no family member has reported to the police but the NDC knows this for a fact? Push for hard facts, they won't give any names, no region and no location! We thank the Almighty God that He gently took this cross away from our ailing shoulders! Whew, I feel tired already!
GOD HAS PUNISHED YOU NDC PEOPLE INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH ISSUES YOU ALWAYS INSULT NANA ADDO ESPECIALLY KOFI ADAMS,AVENYO,ASIEDU NKETIA,KOKU ANYIDOHO,MORE SUICIDE ARE COMING SO TAKE NOTE
mahama is the worst leader ghana, africa and the world have had ,.and his name will be forgotten after 7 January 2017, he will get 23% when he contest 2020 election ,he is a failure and a disaster, he has messed ghana up and all ghana people dont like to hear that name manaha, it signifies, corruption poverty and hunger, from gh people,
This is political jihad
Who believes this Nii Lantey guy? Where is the proof that some people have committed suicide because of NDC Loss. Who are they, where is their suicide note, which region and from what family? I have not heard that or seen that in the news. You see if someone gambles and cannot take the disgrace and thy commit suicide, it is their own mess that has caused that. Why will someone with a wife of husband and children to take care of, mother or father to take care of kill themselves because of a Mahama Loss? It does not make sense. Nii Lantey better shutup because Ghanaians know he is a liar.
EVEN IN DEFEAT THESE NDC PEOPLE WILL NOT STOP THEIR LIES AND PROPAGANDA.SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THESE NDC PEOPLE ARE FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET WHERE LIES ARE PART OF THEIR DNA
But in all seriousness, the probably committed suicide because they bought things on credit this entire year and then suddenly realized the gravy train has left the ndc station and therefore they'll never be able to pay their debts. Cause as at now it's: everyone for himself! The so-called bigwigs can't be reached because they're busy covering their own backside!
so what are they going to tell God when they get to the gate to decide their fate? that they took their own lives bcos of an incompetent man who is full of corruption? well i cant believe this. smh. this may be a lie though but with this ndc ple anything is possible
I wish more people could have committed suicide over a looter and stealers. Three is just for the defeat. There will be more of such when those who have stolen from the nation will start coughing out their stolen booty.
