The Ghana Police Service has arrested two individuals in connection with violent disturbances that marred the parliamentary re-run in the Ablekuma North constituency earlier this month.
According to a press release issued by the Accra Regional Public Affairs Unit and signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs, the suspects — Musah Muntart, a 46-year-old Station Manager at STC, and Ali Saeed, popularly known as “Mboma,” a 43-year-old businessman — are currently in custody and assisting police with ongoing investigations.
Their arrests form part of broader efforts by the police to ensure accountability and uphold law and order following the violence that erupted during the re-election held on Friday, July 11, 2025.
“The Accra Regional Police Command assures the public of its commitment to ensuring that all persons responsible for acts of violence, intimidation, or misconduct during the elections are brought to justice,” the statement emphasized.
The police are also urging the public to cooperate by providing credible information that could assist investigations. Citizens can report tips through emergency numbers 18555 or 191.
The Ablekuma North by-election was called after the previous results were annulled by the Electoral Commission due to procedural irregularities.
While the re-run was largely peaceful, isolated clashes at certain polling centers drew widespread condemnation and calls for swift action.
