Dr Bawumia (R) has warned President Mahama (L) to prosecute election violence perpetrators
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2024 general elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has vowed to prosecute persons involved in the Ablekuma North election violence if he wins power in the 2028.
According to him, the thuggery that was carried out in the Ablekuma North parliamentary elections undermines the integrity of Ghana’s democracy.
The former Vice President called on President John Dramani Mahama to take swift action against the perpetrators to bring them to justice and deter others.
He warned that if President Mahama does not take stringent action against those involved, he would prosecute the perpetrators if the NPP wins power in the 2028 general elections.
“Let us focus on the violence and thuggery via hoodlums carried out in the recent Ablekuma elections in full view of the police and cameras. I again call on His Excellency the President [Mahama] to bring the perpetrators to book and remind them that the elephant never forgets.
“No matter how long it takes, we will prosecute the perpetrators when we assume office in 2029, insha Allah,” he said during the 2025 NPP National Delegates Conference.
The 2025 New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Delegates Conference is ongoing at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on July 19, 2025.
The conference is expected to bring together delegates from across the country to discuss and decide on key party matters ahead of the selection of a flagbearer slated for January 31, 2026.
Among the key agenda items for the conference is a proposal to amend aspects of the party’s constitution, including suggestions to expand the electoral college.
