The Eastern Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) George Anko-Bil, said elaborate security measures have been initiated to prevent recurrence of confusion that erupted in the Akwatia constituency during the December 7 elections.
He assured the electorate that the security agencies would be on the alert to maintain law and order to ensure a peaceful presidential run-off on December 28.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Koforidua on Wednesday, DCOP Anko-Bil asked residents of the constituency not to be scared by any heavy police presence in the area during the polls once they go about their activities lawfully.
There was confusion in the Akwatia constituency, allegedly perpetrated by supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the December 7 elections.
The Electoral Commission decided to re-organize the polls in six polling stations where elections were disrupted but a court injunction has been placed on any move by the EC.
