Eastern Region is under lock down from anyone who dares to ruin NPP's win - Bryan Acheampong

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana says they have put the Eastern Region on high alert ahead of the 2024 general elections. The move is aimed at preventing any disruptions to the electoral process and ensuring a peaceful transfer of power.

According to the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong, the region has been placed under lockdown to prevent any miscreants from causing chaos. Acheampong, who is also the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, warned that anyone attempting to disrupt the elections would face severe consequences.

The NPP has made extensive preparations to ensure a smooth electoral process, and Acheampong expressed confidence that the party would emerge victorious. 

“In 2022, I said the NPP would win the elections. In 2023, I said the NPP would win the elections. In 2024, everything shows that the NPP will win the elections. We will vote peacefully, we will count peacefully, and we will declare the NPP winner peacefully.

“Anyone who dares to ruin the NPP’s win will do so at their peril. We will deal with you,” Acheampong asserted when he addressed thousands of party faithful at the forecourt of the Abetifi Palace after a walk on Saturday.

“I promise you, we have campaigned very well because we have put things in place. The Eastern Region is under lockdown, and whoever comes here will be given a showdown. If you dare misbehave in the Eastern Region, we will give you a showdown,” Acheampong added.

The election is scheduled to take place on December 7, 2024, and is expected to be highly contested.
