Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for Old Tafo and Deputy Minister for Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development, has petitioned the US Embassy over concerns regarding electoral violence and threats to Ghana's democracy during the 2024 general elections.
In his letter, Assafuah detailed a series of disturbing events that disrupted the otherwise peaceful December 7th elections.
He highlighted that after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer and Vice President, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded defeat to former President John Dramani Mahama in record time, NPP parliamentary candidates faced widespread bullying and violent attacks allegedly perpetrated by members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
