Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Calls for Public Inquiry into 2024 Election Disturbances

Accra, Ghana – Ofoase Ayirebi MP, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has called on the government to launch a public inquiry into the breakdown of law and order at multiple collation centres during the 2024 general elections.

Addressing Parliament on Thursday, the former Minister for Works and Housing stressed the need for a thorough investigation to uncover the root causes of these disturbances and ensure they do not recur in future elections.

“Mr. Speaker, in addition to the leaders’ call to send a resolution to the executive branch, my prayer is that this resolution includes a request for a proper public inquiry into the conditions under which law and order broke down at numerous collation centres,” he stated.

Oppong Nkrumah emphasized that individuals responsible for inciting violence or disrupting the electoral process must be held accountable. He added that such an inquiry would not only expose what transpired but also serve as a deterrent to future electoral misconduct.

Additionally, he urged the government to implement stronger security measures to protect election officials, security personnel, and public institutions during electoral processes.

His call has reignited discussions on electoral security and accountability as Ghana prepares for the 2028 elections.
