The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has initiated an investigation into allegations against ASP Asong Ayrakwa, the Nima District Police Commander, who is accused of endorsing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during a gathering in the Ayawaso East constituency.
A viral video circulating on social media purportedly shows ASP Ayrakwa chanting “We will win,” a phrase some have associated with the NDC’s campaign slogan, raising questions about his impartiality.
In a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Police Command and representatives from both the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ayawaso East and North constituencies, party representatives reportedly dismissed the claims against ASP Ayrakwa, advising that the matter be approached with caution.
Both parties urged police leadership to avoid rushing to conclusions and to ensure that the investigation is thorough and impartial.
The Constituency Chairman of the NDC in Ayawaso East, Mohammed Ramne stated: “This district commander has been working so hard to make sure that there is peace in Nima for somebody somewhere to doctor a video saying that the district commander is saying that NDC will win. In fact, God will punish the person.”
“The comment ‘we will win’ doesn’t mean NDC will win or NPP is going to win. Peace will win, we should use our wisdom,” a representative of the NPP stated.
However, the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Arhin Kwasi Annor, stated that the command has taken note of the plea from both the NDC and the NPP, but it will conduct its own investigation.
“You are saying that he was talking about peace and that peace should win. That is your side. We are also going to conduct our own investigations,” he stated.
