“Since the commencement of the whole election process, we will be in and out of this place all in the spirit of engagement, in the spirit of working together to ensure that from the security point of view, there is peace, security, law and order before, during, and beyond the elections…We want to assure all and sundry that we are poised for what is ahead,” he stated.
The IGP has also urged all stakeholders to remain calm as the EC works to resolve any challenges that may arise.
“We urge them to do their part within the law and allow us to do our work within the law. So that when all is said and done Ghana will be the beneficiary,” he stated.
