Department of Peace Studies unveils Political Vigilante Book

Ahead of Ghana's December Presidential and Parliamentary elections, some faculty members of the Department of Peace Studies of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) have authored a book titled, “Political Vigilante Groups” in Ghana.

The faculty members include Dr. Kaderi Noagah Bukari (UCC), Dr. Sabina Appiah-Boateng (UCC), Dr. Patrick Osei-Kufuor (UCC), Aneliese Bernard (Elva), Aaron Atimpe (Elva), Prof. Stephen Bugu Kendie (UCC), Prof. Francis Enu-Kwesi (UCC), Mr. Richard Ametefe (UCC) and Mr. Prince Amfo Wiafe (UCC)

With support from @Elva, the project was funded by USAID’s OTI Littorals and Regional Initiative (LRI). 

The findings reaffirm that despite efforts to downplay their role, vigilante groups still have a significant and potentially violent impact on Ghanaian political discourse, especially ahead of potentially contentious elections.
