Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has issued a stern warning to senior security officers. He cautioned that any officers who follow orders from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to harm voters during the December 7 elections will face consequences from the next NDC government.
Nketia’s warning comes in response to violence during the 2020 elections, where eight people were killed while protesting alleged misconduct by the Electoral Commission. He addressed this issue during a campaign stop in Amanase, Ayensuano constituency.
The NDC chairman emphasized that those who use force against civilians on election day will not escape justice. He made it clear that these officers will be held accountable once the current government is out of power.
Nketia also mentioned that the next NDC administration has gathered detailed records on those involved in the 2020 violence. He assured that these individuals, including those who have been promoted, will be investigated and held responsible.
The NDC’s stance is focused on maintaining a fair and safe electoral process. Nketia’s comments reflect the party’s commitment to addressing any attempts to disrupt the elections or harm voters.
Overall, Nketia’s message is a warning to both current officials and security forces. The NDC is prepared to take firm action against anyone threatening the democratic process.
His remarks underline the party’s dedication to ensuring that the upcoming elections are conducted without violence or intimidation.
