The Minister for the Interior has revealed that 21 suspects have been identified in connection with the killing of 15 people and the injury of 40 others during the 2020 and 2024 general elections.
Providing an update on the investigations on November 4, 2025, the Minister, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, said four of the suspects are currently on bail, while five are on remand, facing ongoing legal processes.
The remaining suspects, he added, have had warrants issued for their arrest and are being pursued by law enforcement agencies.
He added that the arrests and ongoing prosecutions demonstrate the government’s commitment to ensuring accountability and justice for victims of electoral violence.
“Through careful review of police dockets, on-site inspections, and stakeholder interviews, the Special Investigation Task Force identified 12 specific cases. I must be quick to add that I have since instructed that the report of the commission on the election violence at Ayawaso West Wuogon be implemented fully for justice to prevail.
“Six each from the 2020 and the 2024 General Elections, which collectively led to 15 deaths and injured 40 others. These incidents span multiple regions, including Bono East, Greater Accra, Bono, Northern, Central, Savannah, and Ashanti.
“The circumstances of each case vary, but nearly all involve the use of firearms during confrontations between supporters of the two major political parties and instances where security personnel resort to the use of live ammunition, ‘warning shots’ as a means of crowd control,” he said.
The Minister, however, assured the public that the security services remain vigilant and are working to prevent a recurrence of such incidents in future elections.
