President-elect of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo will not hesitate to prosecute former high-ranking government officials, Nii Adjiri Blankson has warned.
Speaking to reporters at the Nima residence of Nana Akufo-Addo, the former Metropolitan Chief Executive of Accra, said the NPP upon assumption of office on January 7 will ensure all former government officials implicated in large-scale corruption under President Mahama are brought to book.
“Mind you, we will take legal action against former government officials who will be implicated in corruption and those found to have misappropriated funds,” elated Adjiri Blankson asserted.
He says the NPP is fully aware of ministers who flown out after casting their ballots for fear that the NDC might lose the elections.
“We know ministers and senior government appointees who traveled abroad because they were not sure of the outcome of the elections. But, they should know that we shall come after them wherever they may be,” he added.
Nana Akufo-Addo is the president-elect of Ghana after a historic and landslide win over incumbent John Dramani Mahama, the Electoral Commission confirms.
The New Patriotic Party flagbearer polled 5,716,026 votes representing 53.85% in the 2016 elections to give him an edge over the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Mahama, who garnered 4,713,277 votes representing 44.40% of the total votes.
Nana Addo’s party swept the majority in Parliament with over 150 seats.
Declaring the presidential results in Accra, the chairperson of the EC Mrs. Charlotte Osei said the Commission recorded valid votes of over 10,615,361, rejected ballots stood at 1.54% while 10,782,609 represented the total number of people who voted.
Turnout was 68.62%. The official result is without four constituencies whose results were not ready at the time of declaration.

You can't do foko. Do you people think the NPP are under dogs? Don't ever try them,they know and understand what they are doing. This is not the time for your ndc lawlessness,this regime is rule of law and anyone who goes contrary will be dealt with according to our laws of the land. Do you think NPP will allow you to misbehave in this country? You people are fo*ls that's why you see silence as weakness. In the Western world a police man approaches you with courtesy and respect but whatever never think otherwise he/she will send you away,only fo*ls resist and become violent like the ndc and they get killed. Never,ever take courtesy and respect to human life as weakness but that is a true show of strength with no strings attached. Only the fo*l and idi*ts take violence as strength. If Ghana belongs to the ndc you wouldn't get this Usain Bolt lose. You stretched your arms as wide margin and you got beaten with the same margin. ***barred word*** and lick your wounds for power belong to the people and they've spoken. I hope president Rawlings is happy to get his party back and will work on it to attract decent and respectable people not these crop of ndc. His party will go no where if he entertain these kriminals,he should take a clue from the over 1million who voted against his party,the next time will be over 2 million and that will end his party. He should drive away all those so called Nkrumaists,they are a curse. CPP and PNC are all dead parties now because of these so called Nkrumaists, wherever they go they help you to come to power and later you go down to the abyss. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GHANAIANS.
Are you saying if it's established that someone has taken Ghana's money, such a criminal be left off the hook? So you mean the people who connived to burn down the Central Medical Stores in Tema because they feared they would be implicated in an impending audit should be walking free? Woyomi? Waterville? Cause of the death of Atta Mills should be hidden forever? Bugri Naabu bribery allegation? The killer of Mr Adams and JB Danquah Adu and Kwabena Boadu and many others crimes commuted should not be investigated? Stop kidding yourself!
try and prosecute our minister. we go burn their stores in Accra. we know them very well.
Koku Aynidoho I guess you might want to close that mouth of yours for ever.it no longer show people where power lies. At least now we all know where power lies.
