In a recent commentary, Vim Lady, a prominent media figure, expressed that Inspector General of Police George Dampare should have stepped down following John Mahama's victory in the 2020 presidential elections. According to her, the IGP's role in ensuring a fair electoral process came under scrutiny after Mahama claimed the election was marred by irregularities. Vim Lady emphasized that Dampare’s resignation would have demonstrated accountability and integrity in law enforcement during such a controversial period. She criticized the police's handling of election-related issues, asserting that public trust in the police is essential for democratic processes. By resigning, she argued, Dampare could have taken responsibility for perceived shortcomings and signaled to Ghanaians that he prioritized justice and transparency. This call for resignation highlights ongoing concerns about electoral integrity and the police's role in maintaining public confidence during politically charged times. As debates surrounding election conduct persist, calls for accountability from key figures like Dampare remain central to discussions on Ghana's democratic health.
