Asiedu Nketia Rejects Interior Ministry Report on 2024 Election Death

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, popularly known as General Mosquito, has dismissed a report by the Ministry of the Interior which stated that no evidence of violence was found in connection with a death recorded during the 2024 general elections.

Speaking to party supporters in the Awutu Senya East Constituency during his five-day “Thank You” tour of the Central Region, Mr. Asiedu Nketia described the Ministry’s findings as unacceptable and questioned the credibility of the conclusions reached.

He suggested that the report appears to be an attempt to shield certain individuals from accountability, possibly due to personal relationships and affiliations.

“I have heard that someone claimed there is no evidence of the electoral violence that occurred in Kasoa. We are not children in this party. If we all agree that election-related violence is wrong, then we must work collectively to stop it. We cannot condone cover-ups when it comes to violence,” he stated.

Mr. Asiedu Nketia emphasised the need for decisive action against both the planners and perpetrators of electoral violence recorded during the 2020 and 2024 general elections. According to him, holding offenders accountable is critical to preventing similar incidents in future polls.

He insisted that the issue would not be swept aside and assured supporters that the party would continue to demand justice until those responsible are brought to book.

The NDC Chairman also called on all stakeholders to show genuine commitment to ending electoral violence and to uphold transparency, fairness, and the rule of law in Ghana’s democratic process.
