The National Elections Taskforce has assured Ghanaians that it is closely monitoring the ongoing election process and will intervene when necessary to maintain peace and order.
The statement was made during a press conference addressed by ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the Director of Public Relations of the Ghana Police Service, on December 7, 2024.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi said that some individuals had attempted to enter polling stations on motorcycles, a move that is prohibited to ensure the safety and security of voters.
She confirmed that these attempts had been thwarted by the security personnel on the ground, ensuring that the polling stations remained orderly and free from disruptions.
She further urged all citizens to cooperate with the authorities by parking their motorbikes at least 100 metres away from the polling stations.
This measure, she explained, was to ensure a smooth and undisturbed voting process for all Ghanaians.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi also assured the public that the security forces are fully committed to protecting the integrity of the elections and will take necessary actions to prevent any unlawful activities that may arise during the election day.
She called for continued cooperation from the public to uphold the peace throughout the entire process.
"As of now, we are monitoring, we are observing, and we will intervene as and when necessary.
"So far, our officers have stated that some persons attempted to secure the polling stations with motorbikes. I would advise these persons to park their motorbikes 100m to the polling stations. We have also instructed our officers to ensure no person enters the polling stations on a motorbike," she stated.
