Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has reposed confidence in the ability of the Ghana Police Service to ensure incident-free election on December 7.

He said the Ghana Police Service under the leadership of Dr George Akuffo Dampare has proven beyond all doubts that they are capable of protecting Ghanaians and ensuring the safety of the voting process.

“With the Police at the center of our Election Security Taskforce, we are assured of a successful 2024 General elections,” the Vice President noted when he delivered a speech at the Graduation ceremony of the 53rd Police Cadet officers’ course in Accra.

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”. Dr. Bawumia added.
