Former President John Dramani Mahama has officially called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to launch a thorough investigation into incidents of violence and deaths linked to Ghana’s 2020 and 2024 general elections.
In a statement released earlier today, Mahama expressed deep concern over the lack of accountability for these tragic events, which he believes undermines Ghana’s democratic values. He stressed the importance of justice for victims and their families, adding that the findings of such an investigation would help prevent future electoral violence.
This call comes amidst ongoing public discussions about the need for greater transparency and fairness in the country’s electoral processes. Mahama also highlighted specific cases of alleged police and military brutality during the elections, urging the IGP to prioritize impartiality and a swift resolution.
Civil society organizations, political analysts, and citizens have widely welcomed Mahama’s directive, with many seeing it as a step toward fostering trust in Ghana’s democratic institutions.
