The Member of Parliament (MP) for Awutu Senya West, Gizella Akushika Tetteh-Agbotui, wants decisive action to be taken to address the issue of electoral violence in the country.
The MP said that the pockets of incidents recorded in the just-ended bye-election in the Assin North Constituency should be a wake-up call for the 2024 election.
Speaking to Citi News, the Awutu Senya West MP underscored that violence should not be a part of Ghana’s elections, as that would be a violation of the rights of Ghanaians.
“The police generally comported themselves well, but there were still some incidents, and we need to have a conversation about that.”
“Citizens must be free to vote in an environment where they do not feel threatened and can choose who they want,” she stated.
