The Eastern Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) George Anko-Bil said elaborate security measures have been initiated to prevent the recurrence of confusion that erupted in the Akwatia constituency during the December 7 elections.
He gave the assurance that the security agencies would be on the alert to maintain law and order to ensure a peaceful runoff on December 28.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Koforidua on Wednesday, DCOP Anko-Bil asked residents of the constituency not to be scared by any heavy police presence in the area during the polls once they went about their activities lawfully.
There was confusion in the Akwatia constituency, allegedly perpetrated by supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the December 7 elections.
The Electoral Commission (EC) decided to reorganize the polls at six polling stations where elections were disrupted but a court injunction has been placed on any move by the EC.
