He advocated for a more comprehensive strategy to address election violence and emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law.

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has reaffirmed the party's decision not to sign any peace agreement ahead of the 2024 elections.

Speaking on TV3 on Tuesday, August 19, 2024, he emphasised that signing the agreement is not a guarantee for peace and called for a more comprehensive approach in dealing with election violence ensuring that the rule of law is upheld.

He underscored the importance of prosecuting those involved in electoral violence, pointing out that such actions would deter others and help prevent future incidents.

"Go and talk to the law enforcement agencies, let our people hear that the people who were killed in Accra, the people who were killed in Techiman, those who were maimed in Ayawaso West Wuogon are being prosecuted for wrong-doing, so it becomes a yardstick that if you approach any elections and you engage in wrongful conduct there are consequences for you.

"If that does not happen and you say your focus is on signing a peace agreement, it will undermine our leadership. You have a president and other state institutions and they keep quiet for 4 years over electoral violence," he stated.
