Ghana Police To Demonstrate High Professionalism During The Elections

Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, Ghana’s Inspector-General of Police, says the Ghana Police Service will be impartial and professional in the elections scheduled for December 7, 2024.

He asserts that the police will enforce the law equitably and have no political affiliation.

However, the IGP has issued a warning to troublemakers that, the police will not allow any individual or group to jeopardize national security prior to, during, or after the elections.

“The Ghana Police Service is for the country and its people. We do not belong to any side in the elections, we are there to serve the people and to protect you. So we will remain neutral and professional during the elections and beyond,” the IGP said.

However, he cautioned Ghanaians against letting themselves be exploited to compromise national security.

“We all as Ghanaians have a role to play in ensuring the security of our country. Just as the police will play its role and responsibility in protecting the people and ensuring that everyone is safe, we call on everyone not to allow themselves to be used for violence or be used to create tension in your community”.

In the Eastern region, the IGP was giving speeches in Moseaso and Abekoase when he sent across the warnings.
