The Ghana Police Service has called on political parties and independent candidates to manage their expectations for the upcoming elections, stressing that the contest is a win-or-lose scenario that must be conducted in a peaceful and stable environment.
This message was delivered during a police briefing with representatives from all political parties, outlining preparations for the 2024 general elections.
Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, assured the gathering that his team would handle any electoral violence with professionalism, and would take appropriate measures to either escalate or de-escalate situations as needed.
“There is one clear thing, only one will win, the rest will not win. In the same way, the 801 vying for the position of 276 seats, only and I repeat only 276 will win, the rest will not win. We need to come to this realisation and therefore measure our expectations.
“If I want to be very blunt, I will say that as you plan to celebrate your possible victory, plan to celebrate your defeat or endure your defeat. So at the end of the day, Ghana and only Ghanaians will win in this election as we have said”, he stated.
