A/R: Regional Minister Orders Thorough Probe Into Council of State Election Chaos
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene says he has ordered a thorough investigation into the disturbances that disrupted the election of the Ashanti Regional representative of the Council of State.
The sorting process of the election was disrupted after some well-built persons stormed the premises of the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) where the process was going on smoothly.
The chaos led to the destruction of some ballot papers and the assault of some election officials and journalists.
Reacting to the incident in a statement on February 12, 2025, the Minister said such acts undermine the country’s democratic process and cannot be condoned.
“I have directed the Ghana Police Service and National Security to conduct a thorough investigation to identify those responsible and ensure they are brought to justice,” he added.
He further urged persons with any relevant information that could help in identifying the perpetrators to assist.
“Security agencies will rely on available evidence to expedite their investigations. I urge all individuals with relevant information to cooperate with the police to facilitate a swift and fair resolution of these matters.”
