The 2024 NDC Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama has condemned the position of the Ghana Police Service on election security.
According to the former resident, a public statement from the police administration condemning and distancing itself from a declaration by DCOP Prince Gabriel Waabu that the police will be responsible for election security and not the military is worrying.
In a statement, the police service indicated that DCOP Waabu will be taken through disciplinary proceedings for misspeaking.
However, addressing the gathering at the 91st Jalsa Salana (Annual conference of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana, 2024) held at Gomoa Pomadze in the Gomoa Central District of the Central Region, the former president supported the assertion of the DCOP arguing it is in line with the constitution.
John Mahama questioned the motive behind the position of the police advising the military should not be deployed across the country on the election day.
He, however, added that the military could be used for election security if only their services are needed at some areas during elections.
With Regards to the Electoral Commission’s Neutrality, the former President called for deliberations towards the use of indelible ink on the day of Elections.
Meanwhile, He has finally urged the Ahmadiyya Moslems Mission Leadership to consider advocating for peace and just in the upcoming elections since there can never be peace without Justice in the country.
