The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East in the Central Region, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has vowed to ensure that the upcoming December elections in her constituency will be free of violence.
The pledge comes in the wake of the violence that marred the 2020 elections at the Steps to Christ Centre, where gunfire erupted, injuring several people and nearly halting the voting process.
During a walk through the principal streets of Kasoa, Hawa Koomson reaffirmed her commitment to maintaining peace in the 2024 elections.
The MP, who has consistently spoken out against electoral violence since the 2020 incident, emphasized her dedication to ensuring a peaceful atmosphere in the constituency.
Leading a large crowd during the walk, Hawa Koomson used the opportunity to preach peace to the residents, urging them to avoid any actions that could lead to violence during the polls.
She reiterated her determination to oversee a smooth and secure electoral process, free from the disruptions that occurred in the past.
“2024 is an election year and so as NPP faithful, we are gearing up for the big event. On Monday, the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will be visiting the constituency to commission some projects. These are all some of the good things about the NPP. I will be filing my nomination so I needed to gather the NPP supporters ahead of that day. But I must also say that as MP I am committed to ensuring peaceful elections in December."
“Even if my opponent comes with violence, I will resist to ensure a peaceful process. We are ready for election 2024 and it must come without any violence or confrontation. This is because I am the incumbent and my opponents are the ones who want to unseat me, but I remain steadfast to ensure that I win the elections hands down,” she said.
