If he wins the 2024 presidential election, opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate John Dramani Mahama has promised to investigate the 2020 election violence in Techiman.
The former president announced that he will launch an investigation into the two fatalities and six injuries that occurred during the 2020 elections in Techiman as soon as possible.
He made the remarks while touring the Bono East Region as part of his “Building the Ghana We Want” tour.
He also slammed the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia governments for allegedly failing to hold those responsible for the fatalities during the election accountable.
He pledged to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure prosecution of all involved parties if the NDC wins the upcoming polls, and reassured the public that they will prioritize justice for victims and their families.
“We all know what happened here in 2020 which led to three of our people dying. When you are elected as president of a nation, you must be president for all. Since the incident happened here, the president and his appointees have failed to apologize for the incident.
“When a similar incident happened in Ejura, there was a commission of enquiry and compensation has already been paid to people but Techiman has been ignored. That is why when I am elected as president, I will investigate what happened here and ensure that those found culpable are punished and the right thing is done.”
