2024 elections will be very peaceful because of the measures we’ve put in place – IGP

George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), has promised that the forthcoming presidential elections will be “very peaceful.”

Ghanaians may relax and get on with their daily lives without worrying about fear or panic, he stated.

He was briefing the media on preparations towards the 2024 elections on Tuesday, November 19.

“From where we sit as the national election security taskforce, comprising all the security agencies with the GPS as the lead agency, and by extension the IGP as the chairperson of the taskforce, we want to assure you, the elections will be very peaceful because of the measures we’ve put in place,” Dr Akuffo Dampare said.

“So Ghana, feel free. Ghanaians feel free, and live your life normally. We have your back.”

He said his team had spent “more than two years preparing” for the polls on December 7, acknowledging that they were “one of the most crucial elections in our history” and that “an election is a process and not an event.”

“The first-ever election blueprint for this country, covering every aspect of elections – even religious, school, internal political, and national elections” was the result of preparation, he emphasized.
