Dozens of Ghana president-elect's supporters arrested in post-poll chaos

President-elect John Mahama has condemned acts of vandalism

Police in Ghana have arrested more than 100 people - mostly opposition supporters of President-elect John Mahama - over acts of lawlessness.

Supporters of the newly elected president who want jobs have allegedly attacked some state institutions, looted properties, and engaged in disturbances that have left some police and military personnel injured.

The irate supporters also torched two electoral commission offices due to a delay in announcing the outcome of Saturday's elections and disagreements over some parliamentary results.

Mahama has condemned the vandalism and called on President Nana Akufo-Addo and security agencies to "act decisively" in addressing the violence.

Vice-President Bawumia, the defeated presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has publicly called on the president-elect to reign in his supporters.

In Ghana, it is common for supporters of the winning party to take over state institutions, demanding that the incumbent government's appointees vacate their offices before the president-elect is sworn in.

This phenomenon is rooted in the country's winner-take-all politics, where the party in power gets to control everything, including jobs and contracts.

There have been similar attacks during previous transitions - a development which civil society has condemned.

The police have warned all individuals and groups engaging in violence, saying they will not tolerate any form of lawlessness.

So far 106 people have been arrested, including nine who were arrested on Tuesday over the burning of an electoral commission office in the Eastern Region.

The Ghanaian army has also cautioned the public against attempts to disarm soldiers, following incidents of groups targeting those deployed to support the police to maintain order in the country.

"The Ghana Armed Forces wishes to caution that military personnel on authorised duty have the right to defend themselves, innocent civilians, and property, including the use of lethal force, if necessary to preserve life," said a statement signed by Brig Gen E Aggrey-Quarshie.

Catholic bishops have condemned the violence as "unacceptable and go against the core values of peace, unity, and respect for life that we, as a nation, hold dear".

They have urged political leaders to take responsibility for the actions of their followers.
In a live broadcast on Tuesday night, Mahama condemned the acts of vandalism and urged his supporters to exercise restraint, while also calling on the outgoing administration and security agencies to take immediate action.

"Because state power is still in the hands of the present administration, I call on the president and security agencies to act decisively to curb the ongoing acts of lawlessness immediately," he said.
Mahama is due to be sworn in on 7 January 2025.

Even more

I see. If this was Nigeria, people like Atiku, Peter Obi, Sowore and others would have gone bunkers screaming as if such things is only peculiar to Nigeria.

Atleast no we know as long Nigeria is concern, Jason's law of corruption is very, very true and real.

I heard one of their local footballers died while celebrating this victory

I hope the man doesnt fall short of their expectations o, cause all these their summersaulting go just be in vain

Why is it that they don't have any one canvassing for votes in the churches?

Yes Daddy, Okay Daddy, Thank you daddy!

Was there any predictions from the Pulpit?

Was there Child crying while praying for Obi or any mad woman writing the name of Obi on the wall?

Cruise!

It's impressive to see Ghana setting a high standard for democratic elections. Their commitment to democratic principles is truly commendable. They've shown one deluded self acclaimed giant of Africa what it means to conduct free and fair election.

Nigeria is the most retrogressive in electoral process. Ghana election was flawless, the people choice won . Then tomorrow Nigerians will want to insult Ghana online, when Ghana is billion miles ahead of their shîthole.

I have been waiting for this news since yesterday because Yakubu was there

Edo: i am confused

Like John Mahama supporters,Like Buhari supporters. Those ones slaughteted over 800 people including serving corps members because Buhari Lost the 2011 election

At least John is even condeming the violence and telling them to stop,The CPC didnt then. They said they were IT guys of the PDP.

God of Africa seems to be residing at Ghana while Devil is residing majestically in Nigeria. Congrats to Osagyefo John Mahama. You have been given a genuine mandate by Ghanaians to transform Ghana into the Japan of Africa.

At the same time, you have also been given a divine mandate. As Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah led Africa to political independence, so shall you lead Africa to economic prosperity. Amen.
