The Interior Minister, Muntaka Mohamed-Mubarak, will be briefing the nation on the investigations into the 2020 and 2024 electoral violence today, Tuesday, November 4.
This was announced by the Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, in a short statement. It is recalled that in January this year, President Mahama asked the IGP to conduct investigations into the killings and violence that occurred during the 2020 and 2024 Elections. While
acknowledging the peaceful conduct of the 2024 elections, President Mahama emphasized the importance of ensuring justice for victims to deter future electoral violence. He expressed fears that a failure to address these cases could foster a culture of impunity.
Speaking during a special National Muslim prayer and thanksgiving service at the National Mosque in Kanda, Accra, on January 10, Mahama said, “Even though this election passed on peacefully, we must recognise that a few of our citizens lost their lives. My understanding is that almost five of our citizens were killed in the process of the elections. “If this continues, and justice is not served, what it does is that it breeds impunity.
And that is why we, as a party [National Democratic Congress], have said that a Facebook post on Tuesday, November 4, Felix Kwakye Ofosu said, “At 2 pm today, Minister for the Interior, Hon Muntaka Mohamed-Mubarak, will brief the nation on the details of the investigation report and actions taken against the perpetrators.”
We must investigate to find out what led to these killings. So that we can take action so that they don’t happen again.”
