In a fiery accusation, former President John Dramani Mahama has pointed fingers at President Nana Akufo-Addo, alleging the deployment of thugs and rogues to disrupt the voting process.

Mahama, expressing deep concern, issued a stern caution, urging Akufo-Addo to cease such actions immediately.

"The use of thugs and rogue elements within the security agencies to disrupt elections in some parts of the country as occurred in the 2020 elections, leading to the loss of eight (8) lives, will forever be remembered as Ghana's day of infamy and an indelible blemish on our democratic credentials established over the last 31 years of constitutional rule," he said.

Mr Mahama, who is the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), made these allegations in a statement to mark Constitutional Day on Sunday, 7 January 2024.

He further critcised the President for failing to condemn that: "On a rather sad note, it is unconscionable that three years after these tragic events, our President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has not uttered even a word of sympathy to the bereaved families. The perpetrators of these murders continue to walk as free men and still hold on to positions of authority and power."
