The National Peace Council (NPC) has expressed concern over recent reports of office destructions and looting of warehouses linked to the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections across various locations.
In a statement, the NPC condemned every incident of electoral violence, emphasizing its sorrow over the situation.
To address these challenges, the NPC has confirmed that each of the 16 Regional Peace Council (RPC) offices is actively working on the ground to restore peace in their respective regions.
The Regional Chairmen and Regional Executive Secretaries are closely monitoring the incidents and coordinating efforts to escalate the issues to the relevant authorities.
These include the Regional Inter-Party Advisory Committee (RIPAC), the regional division of the Ghana Police Service (GPS), and the Regional Security Councils (REG SECs), among other stakeholders.
At the national level, the NPC continues to monitor the incidents and escalate them as needed to key organizations such as the Electoral Commission, the National Election Security Taskforce led by the Inspector-General of the Ghana Police Service, and other relevant bodies.
NPC Chairman, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, highlighted the crucial role of the Regional Peace Councils in maintaining peace across all regions.
“Our teams have been working tirelessly behind the scenes over the weekend to mediate and expedite resolutions for many of the tragic incidents of electoral violence we have witnessed as a nation,” he said.
