President Akufo-Addo has called on the Ghana Police Service to review its approach to handling post-election violence.

Following the 2024 general elections, incidents of violence, including damage to public property and Electoral Commission (EC) offices, were reported, with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters allegedly involved.

The President expressed concern over these events and urged the police to implement more effective strategies to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

During the launch of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana's Bicentennial Anniversary on December 22, 2024, at Osu Castle, President Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of safeguarding the country’s democracy.

He stressed that peace and order are crucial to maintaining Ghana’s democratic values and national stability.

“I commended the security service, especially the police for the effective monitoring of the elections which ensured a peaceful nature. But I would like to ask the leadership of the police to review its practices that allow post-electoral violence to linger for too long before it’s brought under control.”

The President emphasized the crucial role of Ghanaians in safeguarding the country's peace and ensuring its stability.

“As a nation, we must be resolute in our commitment to safeguarding peace, stability and democratic values that we have worked so hard to establish.”
