This was the outcome of the first day of the dialogue to end vigilantism which is being mediated by the National Peace Council. President Nana Akufo-Addo during his 2019 State of the Nation Address called on the leadership of the two leading political parties to meet towards finding a lasting solution to political vigilantism. Before the Ayawaso West Wuogon incident, the last two years had been littered by acts of violence by vigilante groups. President Akufo-Addo also said he would consider a legislation to end political vigilantism if the dialogue failed to yield any positive result.
