President Nana Akufo-Addo has criticised executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for allegedly inciting their supporters to engage in acts of violence and vandalism after the declaration of John Dramani Mahama as the winner of the December 7 general elections.
Speaking at the Bicentenary Anniversary of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana on Sunday, December 22, 2024, President Akufo-Addo expressed disappointment over the post-election disturbances and called on political leaders to promote peace and stability. "It is with deep concern that I acknowledge the unfortunate incidents of post-election hooliganism, vandalism, and violence that followed.
Incidents which threaten to tarnish the beauty of our democratic exercise.
Such acts were completely unnecessary and were wholly unacceptable.
