On the opening day of the voter registration display, which will run through August 27, 2024, the Ghana Police Service expressed satisfaction with the degree of cooperation it has gotten from the political parties and other stakeholders.
ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi appealed for the smoothness to continue in an interview with Peace FM online.
“Today’s exercise has been smooth across the country, and we are happy to work with all stakeholders to ensure that we continue to have a successful exhibition exercise,” she said on Tuesday, August 20.
She further noted “The Police is 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 and so we look forward to more of such cooperation as we forge ahead”.
The security services are prepared for the exhibition exercise, according to the assurance provided by IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare on Monday.
“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.
