President John Dramani Mahama has once again intensified his push for accountability regarding the violence that marred the 2024 general elections, issuing a direct directive to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to expedite investigations and ensure swift justice for all perpetrators.
Speaking at the concluding ceremony of the National Peace Council's Post-2024 Elections Evaluation Dialogue in Koforidua, President Mahama underscored the critical need to restore public faith in Ghana's democratic institutions. "The IGP, expedite investigations into these acts of electoral violence and bring the perpetrators to justice," President Mahama firmly stated.
He further assured the public that the Attorney General's office is "also working on a report to be presented to Cabinet for adequate compensation to be paid to victims and relatives of those affected by the violence," signalling the government's commitment to both punitive action and victim redress.
The dialogue session, a crucial gathering of political actors, civil society organisations, and peace-building stakeholders, was convened to meticulously review the conduct of the 2024 elections and forge robust mechanisms to avert future disturbances.
