President Akufo-Addo pledges to enforce law against election violations
President Nana Akufo-Addo has pledged to ensure that any political party or presidential candidate breaching the law ahead of the December elections will face appropriate consequences.
Speaking at the commissioning of The Law House in Accra on Monday, June 10, he assured that his administration will not tolerate legal violations by political entities.
President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed his commitment to upholding the rule of law and maintaining order in Ghana, particularly as the country approaches the December polls. He emphasized that the law will be applied consistently to safeguard the peace, security, and stability of the nation against the ambitions of any political party or candidate.
“I want to use the opportunity on this platform to reassure the Ghanaian people that a law enforcement agency of the state, including the office of the Attorney General, will do all within their power to ensure that law and order prevail in the country at all time, especially at this critical election year.”
“We will not allow the peace, security and stability of the nation that makes Ghana a beacon on the African continent, to be compromised on the alter of the ambitions of any political party or presidential candidate. It will not happen.”
The Law House, a ten-storey building adjacent to the High Court complex, was officially commissioned by the President and will serve as the new office for the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice.
The project, which began in 2001 and was revived in January 2023, includes modern facilities such as conference rooms, office spaces, parking lots, and an eating area.
