The Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare, has held a meeting with key figures from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in preparation for the upcoming by-election in Assin North.
The purpose of this gathering, which took place at the Assin State College SHS, was to foster communication, mutual understanding, and cooperation between the political parties and the police force.
The topics covered during the meeting encompassed a wide range of issues, including security arrangements, the prevention of electoral malpractices, and the crucial role of law enforcement in creating a conducive atmosphere for fair and transparent elections.
Stressing on the need for a peaceful and well-organized electioneering process, the IGP duly addressed any concerns or issues raised by the NDC and NPP executives.
The meeting also provided an avenue for the NDC and NPP executives to foster a spirit of cooperation and understanding. They acknowledged the importance of peaceful coexistence and working together for the betterment of Assin North.
Following the fruitful discussions, the IGP and the political party executives expressed their confidence in a successful by-election.
The Electoral Commission is set to hold a by-election in the Assin North on Tuesday, June 27. The by-election became necessary after the court ruled to annul James Gyakye Quayson’s election and order his name to be expunged from the parliamentary records.
