A private legal practitioner, Eric Owusu Sae, has praised the Ghana Police Service for their professional handling of post-election incidents in various parts of the country.

He commended the police for exercising restraint and patience, effectively preventing tensions from escalating further.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Mr. Sae acknowledged the peaceful nature of the 2024 elections, noting that the country seems to be progressing despite some isolated post-election tensions.

He highlighted the police's conduct, saying, "As expected, the 2024 elections have been peaceful and the nation appears to be moving on. I have, however, noticed isolated incidents of post-election tension in some parts of the country. It is commendable how the Ghana Police is handling these incidents."

Mr. Sae also emphasized that, to date, there have been no reports of assaults or gunshots fired by the police, incidents that are often associated with elections in other African countries.

"So far, I’m yet to come across a report of assault on any citizen or gunshot by the Police, which incidents are associated with African elections. I expect more of such restraint and professionalism exhibited by the Police to continue as these traits are a function of a fledgling democracy," he added.

In the aftermath of the elections, some facilities belonging to the Electoral Commission and the Ghana Police Service were vandalized by groups of individuals. As of now, 106 people have been arrested in connection with these acts of vandalism, with many undergoing legal processes for prosecution.

Despite the Police’s caution, recalcitrant individuals continue to unleash destruction on state properties. On Tuesday, the Ayensuano Electoral Commission office in the Eastern Region was set on fire amid election dispute.
