Osofo Kyiri Abosom, the leader of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), has issued a stern warning to the Electoral Commission (EC), declaring that "God's thunder will strike" if the votes in Ghana's upcoming elections are manipulated or rigged.

The controversial statement comes amid rising concerns over the integrity of the electoral process, with many political observers and leaders calling for vigilance in ensuring a free, fair, and transparent election.

In a passionate address, Osofo Kyiri Abosom, known for his fiery rhetoric and staunch political views, expressed his deep fears that the electoral process could be compromised.

He stressed that any attempt to alter the will of the people would invoke divine retribution. "If the EC allows any form of vote-rigging, it will not be tolerated. God's thunder will strike," he warned, invoking a sense of urgency and accountability in the electoral body.

The leader of the GUM further called on the citizens of Ghana to remain alert and engage actively in the election process.

He emphasized that it is their responsibility to safeguard democracy and protect the sanctity of their votes. "The power lies in your hands," he reminded the electorate, urging them to be vigilant in monitoring the conduct of the elections and ensuring that no one tampers with the results.

His remarks reflect growing public skepticism regarding the transparency of elections in the country.

In previous elections, allegations of vote-rigging and electoral fraud have marred the credibility of the process, and Osofo Kyiri Abosom’s warning seeks to reinforce the importance of upholding democratic principles.

The EC has faced mounting pressure to deliver an election that is not only free from fraud but also perceived as credible by the public.

Osofo Kyiri Abosom’s strong words serve as a reminder that there must be no tolerance for any form of electoral malpractice.

His call for divine justice reflects the deep sense of frustration felt by many Ghanaians, who are determined to see their votes count without fear of manipulation.

The warning also comes at a time when political tensions are running high, and the atmosphere surrounding the elections is charged with uncertainty.

As Ghana prepares for its next electoral cycle, the question of the EC’s ability to ensure a fair process remains a critical issue, with leaders like Osofo Kyiri Abosom advocating for transparency and vigilance at every stage of the election.

Ultimately, the upcoming elections will test the strength of Ghana's democracy, and Osofo Kyiri Abosom’s statement underscores the importance of safeguarding it against any attempts at fraud or deception.
