The National Democratic Congress (NDC), party of the opposition, called on President Akufo-Addo to publish immediately and in full the report of the investigation commission Emile Short.

In a press release issued on Monday, the party said that since March 15, when the commission submitted its report, the president, "for some unknown reason, is sitting on the said report".

The commission was created by the president to investigate the violence that characterized the January 31 byelection in the constituency of Ayawaso West Wuogon.

According to the NDC, the efforts to make the findings public "constitute a flagrant disregard for the principles of transparency and accountability that the President has vowed to uphold."

The NDC stated that, although it had boycotted the work of the Short Commission, it believed that "the question of Ayawaso West Wuogon is a matter of intense national and international interest and that the people of Ghana deserve know the conclusions and recommendations of the Commission ".

The national communications officer of the parties, Sammy Gyamfi, who signed the statement, said that what makes their application imperative, is that until now, the perpetrators of the violence during the 39, by-election, captured live on video, remain free.

"What's even more troubling is that we still do not know the state of progress of the police investigation of the facts, despite the badurances given to the country", he added.
