The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has urged the Ghana Police Service to guarantee a violence-free election during the upcoming December polls.

Highlighting the importance of solidifying Ghana’s democratic achievements, the Vice President emphasized the critical role of the police in this endeavor.

Addressing an event at the Police CID Headquarters, Dr. Bawumia underscored the significant responsibility the police bear in maintaining peace during elections.

He emphasized that the police service plays an indispensable role in upholding democracy in the country.

Dr. Bawumia asserted that without the effective participation of the police, Ghana's democratic framework would be jeopardized.

He called on the police to fulfill their duty in safeguarding and preserving the integrity of the electoral process, ensuring a peaceful and equitable election.

“The ‘Snatch Them Young’ policing initiative, which focuses on school children amongst several other initiatives, has ensured a more responsive, accountable, and operationally effective policing institution.

"I would like to urge you to continue to do more, especially as the nation prepares to go into general elections come December 7,” Vice President Bawumia urged.
