The Interior Minister has condemned the violent incidents during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun, promising to bring all perpetrators to justice.
Mubarak Muntaka emphasized that no political affiliation would shield offenders from prosecution and assured the public that vigilantism would not be tolerated.
“I can assure you that not my party, not any group, will we sit and allow to see the resurgence of vigilantism,” he stated. “I have spoken to the IGP firmly about the happenings in the Ablekuma North. Videos have been forwarded to him, and we have instructed him to act swiftly to bring the perpetrators to book.” He told journlists.
Muntaka emphasized that neither political connections nor affiliations would shield offenders from prosecution.
“We’re not going to condone any actions by individuals within or outside our party going around to do the untoward. I can assure the public that we will ensure that under the leadership of H.E. John Dramani Mahama, no such group will be allowed to form,” he assured.
The rerun, organised by the Electoral Commission (EC), was held to resolve an unresolved electoral dispute from the December 7, 2024, general elections.
