Former CEO of UT Bank, Prince Kofi Amoabeng, has voiced apprehension over the upcoming 2024 elections, citing fears that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) might use ill-gotten funds to maintain power.

Mr Amoabeng, in an interview, expressed his concerns about the NPP's financial advantage, despite what he perceives as a track record of disappointment and mismanagement.

He highlighted the potential for electoral unrest if the NPP attempts to manipulate the outcome.

When asked what his anticipation of the 2024 elections following recent challenges with the voter registration exercise, he said, "I am scared a bit but I don't waste my time fearing what is going to happen in the future. I live in the present. But I am scared in the sense that, I think even though we know NPP has messed up badly and disappointed Ghanaians, they have a lot of money - stolen or whatever, they have a lot of it, therefore they will use it to try to stay in power. That is where my fear comes in because I think if it is an obvious win for the NDC and the NPP are using their money to influence and rig things, things might explode. We are talking about guns and machetes people are totting, so we have to pray for whatever reason the election goes smoothly."

Despite his concerns, Amoabeng emphasized the need for a peaceful election process and urged Ghanaians to remain vigilant against any attempts to undermine the democratic process.
