You will be the victim of your violent actions – Agbodza warns people planning to rig the 2024 elections

Kwame Governs Agboza, the Minority Chief Whip, has issued a strong warning to persons planning to attempt to manipulate the results of the 2024 general elections.

He cautioned Bryan Acheampong, the MP for Abetifi Constituency in the Eastern Region, against initiating any form of disruption during the elections, 3news.com reports.

While speaking alongside the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at a gathering in Adaklu in the Volta Region on Thursday, August 15, Mr. Agbodza, who serves as the Member of Parliament for Adaklu, stated, “You [John Mahama] have been the commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces before, and you brought honour and respect to the office of the commander-in-chief.

“The current commander-in-chief appears to lose control to the extent that miscreants in his government are threatening the peace and security of this country. I am talking about my colleague in parliament, Bryan Acheampong, threatening that the sea will burn because they are going to try to rig the elections.

“I have a simple message for you, my colleague: just as you have been defeated in the hostile overtake of the hotels belonging to SSNIT, you will surely fail if you attempt to use force to do anything.

“This is Adaklu; you dare not try anything on the life of any Ghanaian; you cannot threaten Ghanaians; your party will lose, and you will be the first to run away. President Mahama will win, and President Akufo-Addo will have to hand over to him, and your party has no business trying to hold on to power. They are planning to do what they did in 2020 by orchestrating the murder of eight Ghanaians during an election that has never happened before. If you are a security personnel or anyone being trained at least the boundary of the Volta region before you cross with that mindset, be prepared that it is self-defense; you might become the victim; this is a promise; it is not a threat.”

Bryan Acheampong, who doubles as the Minister of Food and Agriculture, said at a campaign rally in the Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituency that the NPP “would do whatever it takes to win the elections” because it is “a political party that has pastors, imams, and traditionalists.”

“Burn the sea if you don’t understand; we’ll win and continue with our good works,” Mr. Acheampong noted.

He believes that the NPP is an election-winning machine, one that makes it practically impossible for the National Democratic Congress to win this year’s election.
