The Ghana Police Service has expressed satisfaction with the level of cooperation it has received from the political parties and other stakeholders on the first day of the exhibition of the voters’ register, which is scheduled to end on August 27, 2024.
“Today’s exercise has been smooth across the country. There was no incident at all in any of the centers, and we are happy to work with all stakeholders to ensure that we continue to have a successful exhibition exercise,” ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi told Starrfm.com.gh.
She further noted, “The Police are happy to work with all party agents at the various centres to ensure a successful exhibition exercise. As you witnessed, the party agents worked without any hindrance or challenge at any centre, and no agent was restrained from monitoring. We look forward to more of such cooperation as we forge ahead.”
On Monday, the IGP, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, gave the assurance that the security agencies were ready for the exhibition exercise. “Going forward, in terms of the voter register exhibition that we are working on starting from tomorrow, we want to give the assurance that across the 38,622 polling stations, we are deploying at all the places, and we have a rapid response team to go and also manage any situation with a de-escalation mindset.
“So that at the end of the day, with the seven to eight days of exercise that we are going to have, it will be successful, it will be peaceful, and it will add something positive to all the positives we have achieved as a country for ourselves and for the African continent,” the IGP stated during a working visit to the premises of the Electoral Commission on Monday.
