He however urged the Police not to be complacent over their past achievements.
“However, we must not be complacent and rest on our previous achievement, for every election presents its own nuanced situation. We are however confident of the Professionalism of the Police. With the IGP as the Head of Election Security in Ghana, it is important that his charges act responsibly. The neutral, fair and firm Election Policing that we have witnessed in recents months gives every Ghanaian a reason for optimism”.
He urged the officers to maintain their high professional standards.
“The good conduct of officers during the recent voter registration and exhibition exercises provide a great blueprint and confidence for the main elections.
Ghana Police Service, you have done it before and we are counting on you to do it again. By maintaining high professional standards in the discharge of your duties, you are setting the perfect tone for the nation to follow in delivering a peaceful and incident free General elections”.
