Hohoe Man Punished for Vandalizing NPP Campaign Posters.
A viral video circulating online shows a young man in Hohoe receiving ten lashes for damaging campaign posters of John-Peter Amewu, the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the Hohoe Constituency. Jonas-Kwofi Worlanyo, Vice Chairman of a local voluntary group supporting Amewu, noted an increase in such vandalism. Destroying or defacing campaign materials is an electoral offence in Ghana, punishable by fines or imprisonment. The man’s actions highlight the seriousness of electoral violations as the 2024 elections approach.
