The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the Ghana Police Service to step up security measures at collation centres across the country.

This appeal follows reports of vandalism allegedly carried out by National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters, triggered by delays in announcing some parliamentary results.

Both President Nana Akufo-Addo and President-elect John Dramani Mahama have condemned these actions.

At a press briefing in Accra on Wednesday, December 11, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong urged the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare, to take swift and decisive action to prevent further disruptions.

“We’re calling on the police, Mr IGP, the safety of this country is in your hands. Everybody is watching you, everybody is counting on you. Let your men provide maximum security at all collation centres.

“So that officers of the Electoral Commission can do their constitutional duty of making sure we have credible parliamentary candidates-elect in our next Parliament.”
