The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has reiterated the readiness of the police and other security agencies to work with the Electoral Commission (EC) for peaceful elections in December 2024.
The IGP gave the assurance during a meeting with the Election Management Body (EMB) at the EC headquarters on Thursday.
“We’re here to listen to you and know the concerns that you have in the area of security ahead of the elections, so we position ourselves to resolve all of them.
“Already, the national election security task force is working with all relevant stakeholders, and we will continue to do more to ensure that our country continues to remain peaceful before, during, and after the polls. So we are here to assure you that we will address all your security concerns ahead of the polls,” the IGP said.
On her part, the EC chair, Jean Mensa, commended the IGP and the Ghana police leadership for their proactiveness towards the upcoming election.
She was confident that the approach the police leadership has taken towards the election will help build confidence among all stakeholders.
