The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has told Parliament that the Ghana Police Service has learned important lessons from the violence and disturbances that characterised the Ablekuma North by-election.
Responding to questions on the floor of Parliament, the Minister said the Police have reviewed and strengthened their election security strategies, noting that the improvements were evident during the subsequent Akwatia by-election, which was conducted in a more orderly manner.
According to him, the experience from Ablekuma North has informed new operational measures that will be adopted to enhance security during future by-elections and other electoral processes.
Mr Muntaka Mubarak further disclosed that the Ghana Police Service will work more closely with the military and other security agencies to strengthen election security and ensure the safety of voters, electoral officials, and stakeholders.
He expressed confidence that the enhanced collaboration and revised security strategies will contribute to peaceful and credible elections across the country.
