Addressing the media at a press briefing in Accra on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the minister emphasized that the government remains dedicated to working closely with all stakeholders to strengthen democratic institutions and ensure that electoral processes are free, fair, and devoid of violence.
According to Muntaka, democracy can only thrive in an environment of peace and mutual respect for the rule of law. He noted that the government, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, is taking proactive steps to enhance coordination among security agencies, political actors, and civil society organizations to prevent the recurrence of election related violence witnessed in previous years.
“Government will continue to work with all stakeholders to strengthen democratic institutions and ensure that elections in the country are peaceful,” he assured.
The minister commended the efforts of the Special Investigation Task Force for its detailed work in identifying those involved in the violent incidents that occurred during the 2020 and 2024 general elections. He stressed that accountability and justice are crucial to rebuilding public confidence in the country’s electoral system.
Muntaka further called on political parties and their supporters to demonstrate maturity and restraint before, during, and after elections, reminding them that political competition should never come at the expense of national unity and human life.
He concluded by reiterating that government will not relent in its efforts to uphold the rule of law and protect the peace that Ghana has long enjoyed, assuring citizens that lessons from past elections will guide future reforms for safer and more credible polls.
