Christian Tetteh Yohuno, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), has voiced confidence in the present by-election in Akwatia, saying it is progressing well and will be used as a model for Ghana’s future elections.
Speaking while visiting the constituency to evaluate security operations, the IGP commended the behavior of both voters and security forces, characterizing the environment as calm and well-organized.
“Everything is going on smoothly as planned, and that is what we expect to do — to make sure that at the end of the day, we have a very smooth and peaceful election,” he stated.
Top-ranking officials, including all regional commanders and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), are actively deployed and assisting field workers, he said, praising the performance of the police on the ground.
“I am very satisfied with the performance of my men on the ground. This election is such that we have all regional commanders, all POMAB members taking part on the ground. They are all on the field and working with the personnel. Everything is going on very well,” he stated.
Yohuno promised to prevent a recurrence of previous election-related violence and reassured the public that the Ghana Police Service is still dedicated to upholding law and order during the voting process.
“Ablekuma North violence is a thing of the past. We are moving forward. As I assure you, this one will be an election that will set a tone for future elections.” He added.
