NDC Demands Justice For Eight Ghanaians Killed During 2020 General Elections

National Democratic Congress Flag

The opposition National Democratic Congress has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party administration to take immediate steps to find and prosecute the perpetrators of the shootings and killing of eight innocent Ghanaians during the 2020 general election.

In a statement issued on Friday, December 8 2023 to commemorate the third anniversary of the unfortunate incident, the Director of Communications of the party, Kakra Essamuah expressed the party’s disappointment over the silence of President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party’s administration on the matter.

“In the immediate aftermath of the General Elections in 2020, eight (8) Ghanaians were shot dead by security forces who were called in to provide law and order. Since this dastardly event took place in various constituencies throughout the country on 8th December 2020, the government has done little or nothing by way of identifying the perpetrators and prosecuting them to set an example as a deterrent. Even worse, neither the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Vice President, Dr Mahmud Bawumia, nor the New Patriotic Party as the governing party, has seen it fit to express their revulsion against the mindless spilling of blood by members of the security agencies”.

Lawyer Kakra Essamuah

Again, Lawyer Kakra Essamuah further lamented over the failure of the New Patriotic Party and President Akufo-Addo’s administration to provide compensation to the bereaved families and victims of the shootings and violence that characterized the 2020 general elections.

According to her, the recent comments on matters of security ahead of the 2024 general elections from President Akufo-Addo and the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Madam Jean Mensa demonstrate their misgivings of the 2024 general election.  

She asserted that the most appropriate way for the government to create the right atmosphere for the 2024 general elections is to investigate and prosecute the persons who were involved in the unfortunate killing of eight innocent citizens in the 2020 elections.

NDC Reiterates Its Commitment To Investigate 2020 Election Killings

Moreover, Lawyer Kakra Essamuah Director of Communications for the opposition National Democratic Congress reiterated the party and its flagbearer Former President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to initiate urgent steps to investigate the unfortunate killings of eight innocent Ghanaians during the 2020 election when it assumed power in 2025.

“On the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of this ignoble event, leadership and membership of the National Democratic Congress take note of the continued abandonment of the duty of the Akufo-Addo government to bring the perpetrators to book, whilst proclaiming that when the people of Ghana return the NDC led by H.E. John Mahama to power in a year, the investigation, prosecution and the punishment of those responsible for what happened on 8th December 2020, shall be an immediate and prime focus of the new government”.  

Lawyer Kakra Essamuah

She emphasized that such an action would serve as a deterrent against other members of the public who may intend to embark on similar acts in the future elections of the country.

Exactly, three years today, December 8 2020, a total of eight Ghanaian citizens including three minors were killed during the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections due to the shooting and violence incidents that happened in some parts of the country.

The violence and the shooting incidents which transpired in areas such as Tamale, Techiman, Odorkor, Ablekuma, and Savelugu during the collation of the election result on the second day of the election led to about fifteen citizens also sustaining some level of injuries across the country.
