New Patriotic Party‘s (NPP) Director of Finance and Administration, William Yamoah, has assured the public that vigilante groups will not be tolerated in the upcoming December polls.
Mr Yamoah reiterated the NPP’s commitment to preventing the use of vigilante groups during the electoral process, expressing confidence in security agencies to maintain a vigilant stance against such groups and individuals inciting violence.
Speaking at a media interview in Accra, during an event organized by the National Peace Council, Mr Yamoah highlighted efforts to establish a committee enforcing a code of conduct addressing vigilantism and election violence ahead of December.
“We have faith in the institutions of this country, including the police service, the military, and the Ghana armed forces. We do not support any groups acting as vigilantes or security forces. I want to remind you of a recent example,” he said.
Reflecting on past internal elections, Yamoah cited the peaceful conduct ensured by the police, underscoring their capability to maintain peace during national elections.
“During our internal elections, we relied on the police for security, and there were no incidents of chaos or violence at any of the polling stations. This should assure you that the NPP trusts in the institutions of this country,” citinewsroom.com quoted him.
