Manasseh Azuri Awuni
In accordance with the dictates of the Ghana constitution, campaigning activities for the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections ended at midnight on Saturday, December 5, 2020.
It is behind this that the award-winning investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, has issued a warning to candidates running in the 2020 presidential election.
In a Twitter post, Manasseh noted that the campaign ended at midnight yesterday and therefore any presidential candidate who participates in any form of campaign will be breaking the law.
According to him, it would even be wrong for a candidate to try to campaign under the pretext of addressing the nation.
In the run-up to the 2016 general election, now-opposition candidate John Dramani Mahama, who was then president, delivered a speech to the nation on December 6, at a time when the campaign was supposed to have ended. .
It cannot be established whether Manasseh’s caution 4 years later is based on the events of 2016. However, the people who reacted to the tweet pointed to President Mahama’s speech to the nation in 2016.
Meanwhile, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will deliver a speech to the nation, ahead of the elections on December 7, 2020, tonight. However, the details of what the president will speak are unknown.
The campaign ended yesterday. No candidate should break the law by campaigning under the pretext of addressing the nation.
