The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), have engaged various stakeholders ahead of the upcoming Akwatia By-Election to discuss security arrangements to ensure peace, law, and order before, during, and after the polls.
The meeting, which was held today, Tuesday, 19th August 2025, provided a platform for the Police Service to share security arrangements for the election with the political parties and also note their concerns from the service. The political party representatives expressed their appreciation for the engagement and among other things, called for fairness and transparency in security deployment to build trust in the process.
On 12th August 2025, the IGP and his team held a meeting with the Electoral Commission (EC) to discuss the broader roadmap for the polls. The discussions centered on coordination between the Police and the EC to ensure smooth operations before, during, and after the election. The EC also outlined its operational roadmap for the conduct of the by-election.
Similarly, on 13th August 2025, the Police engaged the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG) at the National Police Headquarters. At the meeting, IDEG highlighted concerns related to electoral security, transparency, and the role of stakeholders in sustaining public confidence in the process.
The Ghana Police Service will continue to engage stakeholders as we firm up operational preparations to ensure security law and order before, during, and after the election.
