Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has charged all opposition political parties to be on alert ahead of the 2024 general elections.
According to him, the machinations that led to the election of vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was proof that president Akufo-Addo was bent on ensuring that the vice president succeeds him come 2024 by hook or crook.
This he says is a matter of grave concern and deserves the utmost scrutiny of all opposition parties if they desire a free and fair election.
“Nana Akufo-Addo has jumped the last hurdle to actualize his long game to break the 8 by the nomination of Mahamadu Bawumia as his successor flagbearer of the NPP for the 2024 Presidential Election.
“This cynical achievement is at the same time a wakeup call to all other political parties who intend to contest the 2024 Presidential Election against the anointed Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, to be alert and to mobilize to police every move by the Nana Akufo-Addo and Mahamudu Bawumia to ensure that the processes leading to the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections are actually free, fair, and transparent to the letter and the spirit of the 1992 Constitution,” he said.
He added that how the Electoral Commission positions itself from now onwards should be closely watched, scrutinized and policed by each political party not in government.
“The Ministry of National Security and the leadership of its agencies selectively appointed on partisan grounds have to be closely watched and marked consistently.
“The use or misuse of the Ghana Armed Forces for uncalled-for internal security operations towards the 2024 elections has to be closely watched and contested.
“The administration of justice, particularly, the conduct of the Chief Justice in the processes of handling electoral matters has to be subjected to citizens’ vigilance and defence of the Constitution. Let us for God’s sake remember Gabon and protect the 1992 Constitution,” he said.
