God’s thunder will strike if votes are rigged - Osofo Kyiri Abosom warns EC

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.
