As part of the methods of winning 2024 elections, some top officials in the New Patriotic Party in an alleged audio leaked online were captured busily plotting how to get IGP Dampare sacked before the Elections. Despite these wicked plots, why won' t President Akufo Addo sack IGP Dampare?
First of all, President Nana Akufo- Addo will not want to go down in history as the President who presided over the annihilation of Ghana' s most priced asset, which is our peace and stability. Even if he had the idea in mind to sack IGP Dampare, the recent leaked won' t give him any opportunity to do so.
Moreover, the President is also fully aware that he won the 2016 elections by a landslide margin against the then incumbent, John Dramani Mahama, not because the then IGP, Mr. John Kudalor, was and NPP member or appointee. It is important to note that the IGP then John Kudalor was appointed by Ex President Mahama and NPP went on to still win the 2016 elections despite NDC appointing the IGP.
Thirdly, the President having contested for the seat four times knows very well that what is needed to win an election is super performance and quality of message, and not an Inspector General of Police who will rig elections. Infact if there is anyone to rig elections it should be the EC and not IGP.
What makes it more difficult is that the President appointed Dr. Dampare as acting IGP in July 2021. In September, 2021, the President publicly praised him and stated that he (the IGP) had vindicated his decision to appoint him as IGP. Hence he has soo much trust in him.
Finally, IGP Dampare' s work since his appointment has proven Akufo Addo right and he won' t go back on his decision. " I want to commend the outstanding Inspector General of Police and his team for the deployment of officers across the country for the Easter festivities" Nana Akufo Addo
