The Ghana Police Service has provided assurance to the people of Assin North and all Ghanaians that comprehensive security measures have been implemented to ensure safety, maintain law and order, and uphold peace during the by-election scheduled for Tuesday, June 27, 2023.

To further enhance the working relationship among all stakeholders involved in the election, the Police Management Board (POMAB), under the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, held a meeting with key stakeholders, including the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), and the Electoral Commission.

During the meeting, the police took note of the security concerns raised by the stakeholders and incorporated them into the final security strategy for the election.

However, all stakeholders emphasised the importance of addressing the circulation of false information on social media.

The police have, thus, urged the public to exercise caution in their reporting on the election and refrain from spreading false information that could potentially disrupt the peace. Anyone found guilty of spreading false information will face appropriate legal action.

The NPP delegation was led by the National Chairman and National Organiser, while the NDC delegation was led by the National Chairman and General Secretary. The LPG was represented by its National Secretary and Regional executives, and the Electoral Commission was represented by its Director of Operations.

The police further encouraged the people of Assin North constituency to freely carry out their daily activities, including exercising their civic duty to cast their votes.
