I am happy the security heads met recently in putting together some guidelines on the elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe military should always be on standby and not be following DCE\u2019s and MCE\u2019s and members of Parliament around and terrorizing citizens, that is not the work of the military. That is what gives some of us cause for concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened in 2020 were citizens died, some military were used here and there. In the District Assembly Elections some DCEs and MCEs and MP\u2019s few of them used military men to intimidate citizens. District Assembly Elections that a lot of Ghanaians don\u2019t go out to vote they used them.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bonaa stated that there will be confrontations if the government attempts to use the military in the upcoming 2024 elections.<\/p>\n<p>starrrfm.com <\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security analyst, Adam Bonaa has stated that the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) must not get involved in elections until they are called upon.
