Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has condemned violent incidents that occurred during the Ablekuma North constituency elections, calling for a more peaceful and orderly democratic process.
In a statement shared on her official Facebook page, the Vice President expressed concern over clashes that marred parts of the election, emphasising that political passion should never translate into physical harm or intimidation.
“While it is good to be interested in the direction our country is taking, we should not allow our passion to devolve into violence. Human life is precious,” she stressed.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang further urged political stakeholders and the public to work toward making Ghana’s elections peaceful and routine democratic exercises.
“Let us get to a place where elections are, by default, orderly and even ordinary events,” she added.
Despite the challenges, the Vice President congratulated Ewurabena Aubynn, MP-elect, for her “decisive victory” in the contest. She commended Aubynn’s courage and focus throughout the process.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang concluded her message by wishing Ghanaians a peaceful weekend and invoking blessings for the nation.
