Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has assured residents of Techiman South of a swift investigation into the 2020 election violence if he emerges victorious in the 2024 polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The constituency witnessed two fatalities and six injuries due to a shooting incident during the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his tour of the Bono East Region as part of the \u201cBuilding The Ghana We Want\u201d tour, Mahama criticized the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government for allegedly failing to hold accountable those responsible for the deaths during the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pledged that if the NDC secures victory in the upcoming polls, they will initiate a thorough investigation and ensure the prosecution of all parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John Mahama also reassured the public that if the NDC assumes power, they will prioritize justice for all victims and their families in such instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe all know what happened here in 2020 which led to three of our people dying. When you are elected as president of a nation, you must be president for all. Since the incident happened here, the president and his appointees have failed to apologize for the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen a similar incident happened in Ejura, there was a commission of enquiry and compensation has already been paid to people but Techiman has been ignored. That is why when I am elected as president, I will investigate what happened here and ensure that those found culpable are punished and the right thing is done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
