To ensure fool-proof security during Tuesday’s bye-election in the Chereponi constituency, 10 policemen, six of them armed, have been stationed at each of the 55 polling stations.Additionally, three checkpoints have been mounted at each point of entry to the constituency.Northern Regional Police Commander, ACP Angwubutoge Awuni, who disclosed this to the Ghanaian Times on Sunday, said people going to and from the town were also being searched thoroughly.
He reiterated the determination of the security agencies to ensure a violence free poll Tuesday, assuring that they had made adequate preparations to nip in the bud any attempt to breach the peace.He therefore cautioned those who might be habouring any intention to cause trouble to reconsider it or face the full force of the law.He advised all those who have nothing to do at Chereponi to stay away and allow the people of Chereponi to decide who represents them in Par-liament.The police commander called on the contesting political parties to conduct their activities within the confines of the law, saying it was not the inten-tion of the security to abuse anyone's right but "if you misbehave, we will be compelled to use any reasonable force to maintain law and order."The Chereponi bye-election was necessitated by the death of the New Patriotic Party MP, Doris Asibi Seidu last July.Source: The Ghanaian Times
