The Minister for Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has rejected claims that the government
has remained silent following the violence that marred the Ablekuma North parliamentary election
rerun.
He insisted that unlike previous instances of electoral violence, the current administration has
taken swift and decisive steps to address the situation.
The minister said this during a mid-year review of his ministry at the Government Accountability
Series in Accra on Monday, July 14.
“There’s a huge difference this time. Almost all of us at the top have condemned this. The Vice
President, who is currently acting in the President’s absence, called me and instructed action. I had
already directed the IGP, and he and his team are working to ensure justice,” Mr Mubarak stated.
