The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has charged the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure a peaceful conduct of the 2024 General Election on December 7. <\/p>\n

The Police Management Board, led by Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene at the Manhyia Palace as part of a New Year engagement exercise with some stakeholders in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

While encouraging the police to maintain its visibility operations, the Asantehene admonished the IGP to ensure a peaceful election in December.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had numerous elections but this looks very much heated. I don\u2019t understand why it is always like that when we are approaching elections, especially this election. I am encouraging you to ensure a peaceful election in December. Let us continue to enjoy the peace we have as a country,\u201d said Otumfuo.<\/p>\n

The Asantehene commended the IGP for ensuring an incident-free Yuletide and encouraged the Police Management Board to widen its patrol activities nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Christmas and New Year was incident-free and that is what we should always have as a country. I am encouraging you and management to continue with your patrol project,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The IGP, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, promised to maintain the police visibility plan in the Ashanti Region and across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to work as a team to maintain peace in the country. Our work during the Yuletide will still be maintained while we continue to work towards the 2024 elections,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n

The Police Management Board later engaged members of the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) to better appreciate their concerns to help boost security.<\/p>\n
