The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged the Ghana Police Service and the Inspector General of Police to maintain law and order at all collation centres across the country.

This call follows instances of disruption and increased tensions at several polling centres throughout the current election process.

Justin Frimpong Kodua, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), at a news conference in Accra on Sunday, emphasized the significance of upholding peace and order to guarantee a seamless and transparent collation of election results.

In order to avoid any interruptions that would compromise the integrity of the vote process, he urged the police to increase patrols and assign enough officers to strategic sites.

“The NPP has with great concern taken notice of the violent conduct of the NDC thugs at some of the constituencies collation centres i.e., Damongo, Ablekuma North, Techiman South, Aowin, Obuasi East, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Fanteakwa North, Ahafo Ano North, Ahafo Ano South West, Akwatia, Trobu, and Tema Central.

“Indeed, data that made our flagbearer concede this morning shows clearly that the NPP has won the constituencies I have mentioned, but the NDC, knowing very well that they lost these seats to the NPP, are unwilling to accept their fate and are desperately seeking to compel the EC to do their bidding.

“We vehemently condemn these attacks and are serving notice that we shall resist every attempt to tamper with the result of the parliamentary elections in these constituencies. I call on the IGP…Mr. IGP, we believe you have seen what is happening at the various collation centres and as a political party, the NPP, we are calling on you to maintain law and order at the various collation centres.

“We must ensure that the rights and safety of all our citizens are protected. We must not allow illegal looting and intimidation of our citizens, and I call on the leadership of the NDC to call its supporters to order and condemn these unnecessary acts of violence,” he stated.
