Accra, November 20, GNA \u2013 The Ghana Police Service has urged Ghanaians to go about their usual activities before, during, and after the upcoming elections without any fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to assure you that the elections will be very peaceful because of the measures put in place. Ghanaians, feel free and live your lives. We have your back,\u201d Dr George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police said.<\/p>\n
Speaking during a stakeholder engagement with the National Security Taskforce, Dr. Dampare stated that elections are a process, not an event, and disclosed that more than two years of planning had gone into ensuring security for the election.<\/p>\n
He introduced a comprehensive 5,400-page security document, dubbed \u201cthe master blueprint,\u201d which covered all aspects of security and election management, with a vision for Ghana\u2019s future over the next 30 years.<\/p>\n
The document aims to maintain peace and stability.<\/p>\n
Dr. Dampare pointed out that these preparations had already led to peaceful elections at various levels, including during campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
He also outlined new protocols for coalition centres, where only authorized stakeholders, such as candidates, media, and observers, would have access to ensure a transparent ballot counting process.<\/p>\n
The IGP called for collaboration among all stakeholders to make the elections peaceful and successful to bring pride to Ghana and Africa.<\/p>\n
He also warned potential troublemakers that the police would take decisive action against anyone attempting to disrupt the election process.<\/p>\n
Reverend Dr. Primerose Degbe of the Civil Forum, a coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), praised the security taskforce for its effective management of past elections, including district and by-elections.<\/p>\n
He expressed confidence that the security forces were well-prepared to ensure the upcoming elections was peaceful and secure.<\/p>\n
