Earlier this month, as we have done 3 other times under the 4th Republic, we peacefully transferred power from the governing party to the opposition party to global applause.

But was this transfer "peaceful"? 4 of our fellow Ghanaians died in election-related violence on top of the 9 who died 4 years earlier.

And during the counting of election results, there were intimidation and coercion forcing the EC to abandon collation efforts repeatedly.

Vigilantes associated with the NDC have invaded offices and even private homes to take over offices and to reportedly prevent theft of public property.
