The Minister of Interior, Henry Quartey, has warned persons who would decide to incite violence in the upcoming 2024 general elections to reconsider their decision.
He states that his ministry is prepared to deal with these individuals regardless of their political affiliations.
This follows reports of violence in various registration centres across the country during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
In his engagement with the media, Mr. Quartey stressed that they are ready to maintain peace in this year’s elections.
“Let me sound the wording again, You know my track record, I walk my talk. Anybody who goes to do something other than what is prescribed, we will do our best to ensure that the law will take its course and the court of competent jurisdiction will do its work.
“May I sound this warning that it will not be political vindictiveness. If anybody commits, whoever the person is, we shall ensure that the law will take its course,” he said.
As part of ensuring a smooth transition of power, he assured that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will hand over power if Ghanaians vote for another party.
“As a politician, as a political party, it is our hope, it is our wish, it is our belief that by the grace of God, the good people of this country, the good work that we have done in infrastructure and in other interventions, they will give us another mandate.
“Perish the thought, and I say again, perish the thought, If they decide to give their mandate to somebody, we will hand over peacefully and walk away, go to the drawing board and come back Insha Allah. But I know that the grace of God abounds and so we shall break the, 8” he added.
