Arise for Change for Economic Growth (AsEC), a group affiliated with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called for a transparent investigation into election-related killings that occurred in the Techiman South constituency and other parts of the country during the 2020 and 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
During a press briefing held at the Techiman Zongo L.A. School Park, the National Chairman of AsEC, DS Mahama Iddrisu, highlighted the need for accountability and justice for the victims of election violence.
The group raised concerns about the pace of investigations and the perceived bias of some officers in charge, demanding a fair and credible outcome.
As EC acknowledged the directive given by President John Dramani Mahama to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to investigate the tragic killings that took place in Techiman South and other locations. However, the group expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of these investigations, stating that little has been done to bring the perpetrators to book. The group alleged;
“The matter has been referred to the Director of CID for further investigation by the IGP, but it came to our notice that these officers are NPP sympathisers.’’
As EC insisted that the investigations must be handled with impartiality. They warned;
“We are watching the outcome of the investigation report from those police officers. We are also calling on the authorities to ensure transparency and fairness in the investigation. Ghanaians are watching, and we expect a credible report that reflects the truth. If the findings do not align with the evidence, we saw in the videos recorded, we will not accept the outcome of the matter. Justice must prevail.’’
