Ghana must embrace a comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy that addresses the root causes of electoral conflict and violence and strengthens the foundations of its flawed democracy, a Security Expert Colonel Festus Aboagye(Retired) has said. He believes that peace agreements ahead of major elections in Ghana have not been enough to tackle the issue of violence in the electoral process. Referring to the violence in the last major elections, , Col Fetrus Abigaye said that despite the existence of the Peace Pact, the 2020 electoral process was marred by violence. In the Techiman South constituency, he recounted, military personnel opened fire on protestors at a collation centre, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. To date, he said, the eight deaths and other infractions have not been thoroughly investigated, and the culprits are held accountable. "These incidents highlight the Pact's inability to prevent state-sanctioned violence and the lack of accountability mechanisms," he stated.
