Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on the Ghana Police Service to ensure a violence-free election in the upcoming December polls.
Emphasising the need to consolidate Ghana’s democratic achievements, the Vice President highlighted the crucial role of the police in this process.
Speaking at an event at the Police CID Headquarters, Dr. Bawumia stressed the significant responsibility the police hold in maintaining peace during the election.
He underscored that the police service is indispensable to the functioning of democracy in the country.
Dr. Bawumia affirmed that without the effective role of the police, Ghana's democratic framework would be compromised.
He urged the police to uphold their duty to protect and preserve the integrity of the electoral process, ensuring a peaceful and fair election.
“The ‘Snatch Them Young’ policing initiative, which focuses on school children amongst several other initiatives, has ensured a more responsive, accountable, and operationally effective policing institution.
"I would like to urge you to continue to do more, especially as the nation prepares to go into general elections come December 7,” Vice President Bawumia urged.
