According to the caucus, individuals believed to be linked to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been involved in violent incidents and vandalism, allegedly to delay the Electoral Commission's announcement of the Ablekuma North Parliamentary results in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Speaking to the press, Second Deputy Minority Whip Jerry Ahmed Shaib urged the President and the Election Security Taskforce to intervene swiftly to restore order and protect the integrity of the electoral process.“To President Mahama, we call on you to take immediate steps to call your party’s thugs to order. You cannot pretend to be unaware of all the lawlessness and violence in this country.

We also call on the Ghana Police Service, the IGP and the Election Security Taskforce to rise to the occasion and enforce law and order without hesitation.“The EC officials and all the stakeholders in this electoral process must be protected. They are Ghanaians just like us.

We hereby serve notice that should the president, who is the Commander-in-Chief, fail to take steps to protect ordinary citizens, we, the Minority Caucus, shall protest through lawful means and withdraw our cooperation in Parliament.”
