Police Declares NDC Organizer wanted for ‘threatening war’ during 2024 elections

The NDC Organizer for Manhyia South Constituency, Alhaji Mustapha Alhasan, is wanted by Ghana Police Service following his recent appearance in a controversial video making war threats during the 2024 elections.

The video, which quickly spread across social media platforms, features Alhasan issuing stark warnings and threats of violence concerning the upcoming 2024 elections. His comments specifically targeted the Electoral Commission (EC), the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), and those involved in the electoral process, raising significant concerns about election safety and integrity in Ghana.

Alhasan’s remarks were captured and shared by GHOne TV on Twitter, where he is heard making bold and threatening statements. He indicated a readiness to confront and counteract any attempts by the EC and the NPP to rig the elections, suggesting a violent response to any perceived electoral malfeasance.

“There would be war between us and if you dare, we will kill you,” Alhasan alarmingly stated in the video, a statement that has understandably triggered alarm among the public and authorities alike.

The video has led to an immediate reaction from the police, who are now actively seeking Alhasan for his provocative statements.

Meanwhile, the NDC’s leadership in the Ashanti Region has communicated their intent to present Alhasan to the Crime Office of the Central Command on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. This response from the NDC indicates a willingness to cooperate with law enforcement authorities, though Alhasan himself has refrained from making further comments, citing party directives.

Alhasan has provided some context for his inflammatory remarks, claiming they were a reaction to provocation from a member of the NPP. He alleges that the individual insulted the capacity of the NDC to win and retain power, drawing an impassioned response from him. This explanation, however, does little to mitigate the gravity of his threats or the potential they have to incite violence.

The incident highlights a broader issue of political tension and rhetoric in Ghana, especially as the country approaches a major electoral milestone.

It serves as a stark reminder of the critical need for political leaders and their affiliates to uphold a standard of conduct that promotes peace, democracy, and the rule of law. The implications of Alhasan’s threats extend beyond the immediate legal concerns; they also pose a significant threat to the electoral process’s credibility and the nation’s overall stability.

As the situation unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that there is an urgent need for dialogue and reconciliation among Ghana’s political parties. The focus must be on ensuring a fair and peaceful electoral process, where differences are settled through democratic means rather than through threats or acts of violence.

The 2024 elections present an opportunity for Ghana to reinforce its democratic credentials and for political actors to demonstrate their commitment to the principles of democracy and peaceful coexistence.
