The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has rejected a report by the Ministry of the Interior, which indicated that no evidence of violence was received in relation to a death recorded during the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n

Addressing party supporters in the Awutu Senya East Constituency as part of his five-day \u201cThank You\u201d tour of the Central Region, Mr Asiedu Nketia described the Ministry\u2019s position as unacceptable and suggested it undermines efforts to ensure accountability.<\/p>\n

According to him, the report \u201csmacks of an agenda\u201d to shield perpetrators because of friendships and other relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard that someone stated that there is no evidence of the electoral violence that took place in Kasoa. We are not kids at this party. If we have all agreed that violence relating to elections is not good, we must all endeavour to stop it. We must desist from covering up issues when it comes to violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Asiedu Nketia stressed that punitive measures must be taken against both masterminds and perpetrators of electoral violence recorded during the 2020 and 2024 general elections to deter future occurrences.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the matter would continue to be pursued until those responsible are held accountable, insisting that election-related violence must not be trivialised or ignored.<\/p>\n

He further called on all stakeholders to demonstrate genuine commitment to ending electoral violence in the country and to uphold the principles of transparency and justice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
