The Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Adaklu, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has issued a strong warning to those who may attempt to rig the upcoming general elections in the Volta region.
Speaking to NDC supporters during a tour of Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, Mr Agbodza advised those who plan to rig the December elections to consider writing their wills beforehand.
He emphasized the region’s commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the ballots, ensuring a free and fair electoral process. He assured the NDC flagbearer that the lives of voters in the region would be protected, adding that the Volta region would not become a ‘crime scene’ during the 2024 elections.
“Volta region is ready to protect the ballot. Volta region cannot be a crime scene in 2024 when any single life will be lost during the election. Mr President, we are brave people and I can assure you anybody planning, you can take the commander, you can take IGP, you can even make yourself the IGP or even the army commander if you step foot in Volta region 2024 and attempt to rig the election by hurting anybody, I will not tell you what to do but maybe write your will and everything before you come here.”
He also made it clear that they will not initiate any fight because of the election, but if anyone starts a fight, they will complete it.
Mr Mahama is embarking on a two-day tour of the Volta Region from Thursday to Friday, as part of his commitment to engage broadly with diverse groups in shaping Ghana’s future.
He will engage stakeholders, including party representatives, traditional leaders, religious leaders, labour unions, farmers, fishermen, artisans, students, lecturers/teachers, and assembly members.
This initiative is aimed at fostering an inclusive dialogue to better understand the concerns, aspirations, and innovative ideas of the people, which will inform and shape the NDC’s 2024 manifesto.
