Speaking in an interview with TV3 on December 13, Mr. Gbande highlighted the proactive measures taken by the police, which played a crucial role in averting potential chaos and safeguarding the electoral process.

"The leadership of the police administration deserves commendation for their actions. They did not allow any rigging activities that could have resulted in chaos," he stated.

Mr. Gbande also credited the robust measures put in place by the NDC to secure their votes, reiterating the party's readiness to resist any attempts to undermine the election’s outcome.

"The NDC had a robust plan to protect our votes, and we would have stopped at nothing to achieve that," he added.

He further acknowledged the collaborative efforts of political parties, security agencies, and other stakeholders in ensuring a relatively peaceful and transparent electoral process.

Mr. Gbande urged all political actors to build on the foundation of fairness and transparency demonstrated in the 2024 elections, emphasizing the need to strengthen Ghana’s democratic institutions and processes for the future.
