The Inspector General of Police (IGP), John Kudalor, has reiterated his assurance that the security of the country will remain intact before, during, and after the November 2016 poll.
He said the police had put in place measures to secure the elections and campaign activities.
The IGP made the promise at the Ghana Police Service Annual Get-together, more commonly known as “Wassa”, held in Accra on Friday February 26, 2016. Mr Kudalor said the police had rolled out preparations for the elections, which include the formation of an election task force.
“A National Election Team has been inaugurated far ahead of time to ensure a very exhaustive and encompassing preparation for the elections to forestall any unforeseen circumstances and eventualities at the polls,” Mr Kudalor told the audience at the event, which was graced by President John Mahama.
He warned persons bent on inciting violence during the polls to have a rethink, saying that the police would be on hand to crush their ill motives.
Further, he urged Ghanaians to be at ease and banish the fear that the elections would lead to tensions and generate violence as the police have the situation under control.
