The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has revealed that 26 suspects have so far been put before the courts in connection with election-related violence recorded during the 2020 and 2024 general elections.
Addressing the press at the Government Accountability Series, Mr Muntaka noted that one of the 26 suspects has since been discharged, while the remaining 25 are currently standing trial.
He said the police are also pursuing 13 other suspects who have been identified as being connected to the various cases but remain at large.
The Minister assured that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the outstanding suspects and support the prosecution of those already before the courts.
“The public will be duly informed of further developments as investigations and prosecution progress, and the police are also hoping that members of the public who have information on all these other 13 persons being pursued will be most welcome to provide that additional information,” he said.
The Minister said the update forms part of ongoing investigations into election-related violence following President Mahama’s directive for a comprehensive probe into incidents recorded during the 2020 and 2024 general elections.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring that persons found culpable are held accountable in accordance with the law.
