The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has reiterated its commitment to upholding the integrity of Ghana’s 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

In a press release dated December 2, 2024, the OSP highlighted its deployment of anti-corruption measures to prevent, control, and suppress corruption, fraud, and unfair practices during the electoral process.

The OSP stressed the importance of transparency and accountability, warning election officials at polling stations, collation centres, and in the transmission of results that willfully falsifying vote counts or submitting false returns constitutes a serious offence.

The OSP also reminded the public that engaging in corrupt acts such as vote buying, vote selling, intimidation, threats of violence, acts of violence, or impersonation of a voter or an electoral officer is strictly prohibited by law.

The office assured that it is vigilant and ready to address any such occurrences promptly.

Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated, “The Office is alive to its mandate and would promptly address any such occurrence which comes to its notice.”
