Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, has described the recent violence that marred the Ablekuma North rerun as a "scar on Ghana's democracy." Addressing journalists at the maiden edition of the Government Accountability Series on Monday, July 14, 2025, he expressed concern over the country's continued inability to conduct peaceful elections, despite more than three decades of democratic governance. "We condemn this in no uncertain terms.
For me, it's a scar on all our consciences that after practicing democracy for over three decades, we still can't hold violence-free elections.
That should worry all of us, especially those of us in politics," he stated.
He explained that the police have already begun investigations, with officers from the Crime Scene Unit and ICT Department deployed to analyse all available footage.
