The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has charged the Ghana Police Service to ensure that its presidential primary elections scheduled for November 4, 2023, will be violence-free.

The governing party urged the police to take all necessary steps against anyone caught in any wrongdoing.

The NPP Presidential Election Committee told the Ghana Police Service when both parties met to reach an agreement on the election modalities for the upcoming elections.

Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, the NPP’s Chairman of the Presidential Election Committee, advised the police to deal with anyone who would engage in wrongdoing during the elections at a meeting on Thursday.

He said the party will support the security body to arrest and prosecute the culprits.

“We are authorising you to take absolute control of all the processes that you regulate during normal elections in this republic.

We have made a number of guidelines which are a matter of common consent and we have worked out the dynamics in such a way that we are working together and we are saying this to assure you that the regulations that the candidates have all signed are going to be the blueprint of the process, and anyone who disregards this should be dealt with and we want to establish that this country is a lawful nation,” he said.
