Ghana over the years has had to deal with vigilante groups during elections as these people often cause chaos at polling stations.

In January last year, Ghana witnessed violence during the Ayawaso by-elections, there were some shooting incidents which led to some persons believed to be NDC supporters sustaining injuries.

This led to President Akufo-Addo setting up the Emile Short Commission to investigate the issue and they came out with certain recommendations.

Subsequently, the Presented assented to the Vigilantism and Related Offences Act, 2019, which bans acts of vigilantism in the country, they are likely to cause chaos again.

 

Per the new law, “a person who directly or indirectly instigates or solicits the activity of a vigilante, facilitates or encourages vigilantism, or conceals a vigilante to avoid lawful arrest, commits an offence, and is liable, on conviction, to a term of imprisonment of not less than ten (10) years and not more than fifteen (15) years.”
