The Founder of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe is alleging that the move to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare is because he stood against rigging in the just-ended election 2024.
His comments come in response to ongoing rumors regarding efforts to oust IGP, Dr, George Akuffo Dampare.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Cudjoe questioned the crime Dr. Dampare had committed to warrant his sack from office.
“We have very reliable intelligence that the current IGP is being harassed and threatened with removal from office by the Akufo-Addo administration before they leave office. His crime? For standing up for peaceful and transparent elections. For denying the government the opportunity to put in motion election rigging machinery, it had long planned for previous by-elections and the one they lost.
“Now, though in connivance with the high-handed Electoral Commission, the government is forcing election security services to provide service for the re-collation of some 9 constituencies elements of the government believe they won”, IMANI boss stated.
He commended the Electoral Security Services for rejecting the Electoral Commission’s request to allegedly help them rig the mandate given to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by the Ghanaian people.

“Thankfully, the Electoral Security Services have flatly denied the EC its request to help rig the clear mandate that the NDC has been given.
“It is shameful that elements of this government are misbehaving and putting our democracy in great danger.
“They are mistaken and should they dare remove the IGP and install their puppets to grant the rigging-minded and pliant EC to overturn the will of the people in the 9 constituencies, they will be responsible for what happens to them. I sincerely hope that President-elect John Dramani Mahama and the NDC and all civilised Ghanaians will rise to the occasion and deal with these miscreants.”
