THE POLICE have served notice that
\nthey will deal ruthlessly with anyone caught trying to disrupt the opposition
\nNational Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries across the country today.<\/p>\n

The police have warned that anyone
\nwho tries to snatch ballot boxes will do so \u201cat the expense of his or her
\nlife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deputy
\nSuperintendent of Police<\/em> (DSP) Issah Mohammed Cantona, the Prampram<\/em> District Police Commander,
\n<\/em>gave the caution in an interview
\nwith DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Currently, there is tension in some
\nof the constituencies where incumbent NDC Members of Parliament (MPs) are
\nfacing imminent defeats, and the Ningo-Prampram Constituency in the Greater
\nAccra Region appears to top the list.<\/p>\n

The district commander\u2019s warning
\ncomes on the backdrop of certain claims made by Ningo-Prampram MP \u2013 Samuel
\nGeorge \u2013 that some persons are \u2018shopping\u2019 land guards into the constituency to
\ndisrupt the election.<\/p>\n

The district police commander rubbished
\nSam George\u2019s claims but warned that anyone caught snatching ballot boxes or
\nleading thugs to the voting centre during the exercise would
\ndo so at the expense of their own lives.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the district commander
\nhas said the constituency is very calm and everyone is going about their duties
\nwithout any fear of violence.<\/p>\n

Sam George, who is seeking re-election to represent his party in the constituency for the 2020 general elections, is facing a stiff competition from the constituency\u2019s chairman, Michael Kwetey Tettey.<\/p>\n
