Archbishop Duncan Williams has issued a stern warning to politicians and electoral officials, emphasizing the importance of upholding the will of the people in the upcoming 2024 Ghanaian general election.
“If we vote for you to represent us, we expect you to do something, and if you don’t do something, we will cry against you and have you removed,” Archbishop Duncan Williams said. “People will sit up and do the right thing, but we allow people, we give them our votes, they come and do nothing, but we kept giving our votes to them, we don’t think through.”
He also warned against any attempts to rig the election, stating, “Depending on the outcome of the election and how people win this 2024 election, if anybody tries to rig and anybody tries to play any game on both sides to win this election and disrespect the will of the people and the votes of the people and sabotage the will and the votes of the people, there will be an outcome, and Ghana will be shocked.”
Archbishop Duncan Williams emphasized that the 2024 election will be a test of Ghana’s democracy, saying, “If there’s any election in the history of this country that we should not play with, it is the 2024 election. Because this 2024 election will test the strength of our democracy, whether we have been pretending, playing games, or honest about it, this election will prove it.”
He concluded by cautioning those who might attempt to undermine the electoral process, saying, “Anyone whose blood will be shared, that blood would be shared on you and your descendants forever. The implications will not be easy, and those of you who will take money to manipulate the situation for somebody to win against the will of the people, let me tell you, you will have that money, but you will not eat it, you won’t chop that money, because it is a blood money.”
