Inspector-General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, has given assurances that the Ghana Police Service will maintain neutrality and professionalism during the December 7 elections.

He emphasised that the police have no allegiance to any side and are committed to enforcing the law fairly.

Speaking at the inauguration of a modern police station in Akyem Muoso, located in the Eastern Region, Dr Dampare issued a stern warning to potential troublemakers.

He made it clear that the Police would not tolerate any attempts to disrupt the nation’s peace before, during, or after the election.

The IGP stressed the importance of safeguarding the country's stability and stressed that the Police Service would act firmly against any behaviour that threatens public order.

“The Ghana Police Service is for the country and its people. We do not belong to any side in the elections, we are there to serve the people and to protect you. So we will remain neutral and professional during the elections and beyond,” the IGP said.

He also urged Ghanaians to avoid being influenced by individuals or groups seeking to undermine the nation’s security, encouraging citizens to uphold peace throughout the electoral process.

“We all as Ghanaians have a role to play in ensuring the security of our country. Just as the police will play its role and responsibility in protecting the people and ensuring that everyone is safe, we call on everyone not to allow themselves to be used for violence or be used to create tension in your community,” he added.
