With great passion, National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians to be extra watchful in the run-up to the elections in December.
“This government must recognize its duty to ensure peaceful elections, and the loss of even one Ghanaian life will not be tolerated”
“I implore all Ghanaians to maintain unwavering vigilance as we approach the upcoming elections, preventing any abuses and ensuring that the people’s free and rightful choice prevails.”
Meanwhile, Mahama has asked poignant questions regarding President Nana Akufo-Addo’s glaring silence.
Three years later, the incident still casts a long shadow over the electoral landscape. Mahama is pleading with President Akufo-Addo to speak out about this painful episode and end his silence.
The terrifying events took place during a pivotal election period, resulting in the deaths of eight people in a tragic incident that shocked the nation. Three years have passed, but the victims’ families and the Ghanaian public as a whole are still dealing with the fallout from this horrific election violence.
In a recent statement, former President Mahama conveyed his grave concerns regarding President Akufo-Addo’s silence and lack of analysis on the election carnage.
“The use of thugs and rogue elements within the security agencies to disrupt elections in some parts of the country as occurred in the 2020 elections, leading to the loss of eight (8) lives, will forever be remembered as Ghana’s day of infamy and an indelible blemish on our democratic credentials established over the last 32 years of constitutional rule.”
“On a rather sad note, it is unconscionable that three years after these tragic events, our President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has not uttered even a word of sympathy to the bereaved families. The perpetrators of these murders continue to walk as free men and still hold on to positions of authority and power.”
