Gov't to investigate Council of State election violence in Ashanti Region

Minority Leader and MP for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has called on Interior Minister Mubarak Muntaka to outline steps being taken to enforce the law and ensure accountability.
In response, Muntaka confirmed that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend those responsible for the violence.
The government has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining peace and upholding the rule of law throughout the electoral process.
However, the incident has reignited calls for a comprehensive review of election security protocols to prevent future occurrences of violence.
Election-related violence remains a recurring concern in Ghana.
In the 2020 elections, at least eight people lost their lives, while similar unrest during the 2024 polls resulted in at least six fatalities, despite promises of reform, he said.
The minister made this announcement while answering questions on the floor of Parliament
