NPP Manchester Youth Organiser Condemns Violence in Ablekuma North Rerun Elections
The violence surrounding the Ablekuma North rerun elections has sparked widespread concern and condemnation. Attacks on journalists, voters, and party supporters are a direct threat to the democratic process and undermine the rule of law.
Call for Accountability
Jeffrey Dasebre, NPP Manchester chapter Youth organiser, has called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure that those responsible for the violence are swiftly brought to justice. “We must uphold the rule of law, ensuring that those who perpetrate violence, especially against women, are swiftly brought to justice,” he emphasized.
Protecting Women’s Rights
The protection of women’s rights and safety during elections is of paramount importance. Law enforcement agencies must act impartially and effectively to prevent and prosecute crimes, sending a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
Commending Courage
Jeffrey Dasebre commended Hawa Koomson for fighting for what is right and praised all the women, youth, and polling station executives who risked their lives to participate in the election. “Let us continue to build our party with a united front and a disciplined spirit,” he said, expressing hope for the party’s return to power in 2028.
Upholding Democracy
The incident highlights the need for a culture of respect, dialogue, and adherence to the law. By rejecting the path of division and embracing peaceful democratic processes, we can safeguard our nation’s future and ensure that democracy thrives.
