The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vowed to hold the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare, and other security leaders accountable for any lives that will be lost during the upcoming December polls.
The party has called on the IGP and relevant security agencies to enhance measures that ensure the safety of citizens during the upcoming elections.
At a press conference on November 19, 2024, Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC’s National Communications Officer, highlighted the need for strong protections to prevent casualties during the electoral process.
“The NDC and by extension, the people of Ghana will hold the IGP, the Chief of Defence Staff and our security heads responsible for the loss of a single life in the 2024 general elections.
“Elections are about counting heads and not cutting heads. No person must lose his or her life on the altar of elections.”
He also expressed optimism about the party’s prospects, affirming that Ghanaians would make the right choice by electing John Dramani Mahama as their next president.
“We have no doubt that Ghanaians will choose an honest leader who upholds the virtue of truth over one who is completely allergic to truth,” he added.
