The Minister for Interior, Henry Quartey, has issued a strong warning to individuals planning to cause disturbances before, during and after the upcoming 2024 elections.

Following incidents of violence during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise, Quartey assured the media in Accra on May 15, 2024, that anyone caught engaging in violent activities would be dealt with appropriately.

He added that political affiliations would not influence the prosecution of persons caught engaging in acts of violence, citinewsroom.com reports.

"Let me reiterate, you know my track record, I walk my talk. Anyone who acts contrary to what is prescribed, we will do our utmost to ensure that the law takes its course and the court of competent jurisdiction will do its work.

"May I issue this warning that it will not be a case of political vindictiveness. If anyone commits an offence, regardless of who they are, we shall ensure that the law takes its course," he said.

The Minister stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is committed to a peaceful transition of power should they lose the 2024 general elections.

Quartey emphasized the NPP's commitment to a smooth electoral process.

"As a political party, our hope, wish, and belief are that the good people of this country will grant us another mandate due to our work in infrastructure and other interventions.

"However, if they decide otherwise, we will hand over peacefully and regroup for the future. By God's grace, we believe we can break the eight," he said.
