If Ghanaians show maturity, patriotism and love for humanity, the December 2024 elections will be peaceful, Inspector General of Police George Akuffo Dampare has said.

Speaking at an election preparation programme organised by the Trades Union Congress on Thursday, 25 April 2024 on the theme: “The role of workers and social partners in securing peaceful election for national development”, Dr Dampare said: “The security agencies are ready for the elections, ready to keep the peace, ready to secure the country, and ready to ensure law and order. All that we have to do as citizens is to play our part, and all other stakeholders must do is play their part”.

“And if we are to do three things right, we will see that playing our part is the easiest thing that we can do for our beloved country. And the three things stem from being mature. Maturity across all ages is very necessary. Patriotism towards nation such that we put Ghana first and all other things secondary; and, thirdly, we need love for humanity,” the IGP said.

“If we can operate on this principle we will see that our duty in this whole election process is a simple civic process that is enjoyable”.
