As part of its ongoing commitment to maintaining national security and peace during this critical democratic exercise, the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has said that no military personnel will be stationed at any polling station.
The GAF in its role in ensuring the peaceful conduct of the upcoming 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections will be limited to standby support, with the primary responsibility for election security remaining with the Ghana Police Service (GPS).
According to the GAF, in the spirit of transparency and to prevent any misunderstanding, the military will only be deployed upon request by the Ghana Police Service (GPS).
GAF urged the public to report any military personnel, individual (s) identifying themselves as GAF personnel or any individual (s) wearing military-patterned attire/accoutrements found at any polling station to the nearest Police station or call the following Ghana Police Service toll free numbers:18555 or 0800311311.
As GAF remains committed to safeguarding the stability and sovereignty of the nation whilst protecting the integrity of the election process.This collaborative approach ensures that the elections proceed smoothly and peaceful while maintaining law and order.
To ensure that appropriate action is taken against recalcitrant individuals or groups in order to maintaining security as well as the integrity of the election process, “all Ghanaians are to exercise their Civic rights responsibility, cooperate with security personnel and refrain from any acts that could disrupt the peace”, GAF said.
