The country’s security agencies have identified 6,178 flashpoints ahead of the 2020 general elections.
Addressing a press briefing on security arrangements with regard to the polls on Wednesday, November 4, 2020, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), James Oppong-Boanuh, said although the police see all polling stations as flash points, it will put in place special security measures at the identified areas to ensure that law and order are maintained.
Mr. Oppong Boanuh said the taskforce will ensure that all the 33,367 polling stations and 275 collation centres will be given adequate security protection on the day of the election.
According to the IGP, the taskforce together with stakeholders will adopt a different approach to ensuring law and order particularly at the flash points identified by the security agencies.
