Crime has no expiry date, don’t help NPP rig December polls – Asiedu Nketiah

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned senior security officers against assisting the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in allegedly rigging the December polls. The party’s National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, cautioned that any law enforcer who aids the NPP in subverting the will of the electorate will face consequences.

Speaking in the Ayensuano Constituency in the Eastern Region, Asiedu Nketiah revealed that the NDC has evidence of security officers involved in the killing of eight people during the 2020 elections. Asiedu Nketiah emphasised that “crime has no expiry date” and warned security personnel against following unlawful orders.

“Security personnel, don’t follow the government to do unlawful acts because they’re in power. On the day of reckoning, the government that encouraged you to open fire on people will have left power, leaving you to face consequences.”

He also addressed police and military commanders, saying, “Those who have intended to rig the 2024 election, the Police and military commanders, if you give orders for people to open fire on the people, you will not go scot-free, because crime has no expiry date. The eight people who died in the 2020 election, accountability awaits them.”
