President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has condemned the violent attacks on some electorates during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
According to the President, his government regrets the shooting incident and brutality that took place during the elections and so is assuring Ghanaians that the Police are conducting an inquiry into the incident to bring the perpetrators to book.
"The isolated incident of violence, which occurred in the early stages of the election, was unfortunate and regrettable, and I condemn it in no uncertain terms. A by-election should be a peaceful and happy event, no matter how competitive," he said in a Facebook post.
"The Police is committed to conducting a rapid inquiry into the matter, and I expect all persons who are found culpable, at the end of the process, to face the full rigours of the law", he stressed in a Facebook post on Friday, February 1, 2019.
President Akufo-Addo also commended the Electoral Commission for the "professionalism it displayed in conducting a free, fair, transparent and credible election, despite the isolated challenge it faced".

WE ARE WATCHING U ...WE ARE BOOTS FOR BOOTS CREW.
A member of parliament is assaulted and the president did not say anything to condemn the act of attack on the legislature. Ghanaians have been shot and they in critical condition in Hospitals, NO government official has paid them any visit. So are the Opposition Parties not Ghanaians? NPP, I am so disappointed. I pray to God that you will Lose 2020 Elections
Same Rehearsed Speech after every vigilante attack. Nana Addo and the NPP know everything that happened at Ayawaso. He should just confess and let's move on. Hypocrites!!!
The hypocrisy of the NDC is stunning , here is a man who acknowledges that. there has been a problem and has instructed investigation to take place , he has condemned it yet the hypocrites still find issues with it , the people of ghana are wide awake , I trust you all heard Mahama the difference is very clear .
Who do u want to deceive.Massa well done in your planning as if we don’t know you. Hidden behind for the international and the people to appreciate that you said something. Hahahahaha everything has its end and yours is hell of taint.
An apology of a president
The NDC propagandist machinery is at it as usual. The people who hate others because of their ethnicity and self seeking interest. Go and condemn what your incompetent John Mahama said. Murderers’ party.
I have regretted voting for you. Adding free and fair is to say you approve of the barbaric acts. You will reap what you sow. watch out and see 2020, we go show you. Dont stand at all
Nothing will come out of this investigation. This is putting dust into the eyes of Ghanaians.
You are a very bad president we have ever see in Ghana.Owudini
