By Opesika Tetteh Puplampu  

Kasseh-Ada, Dec. 04, GNA – The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Mr. Joseph Atsu Dzineku, the Ada Divisional Police Commander, has urged the people in Ada and Ghanaians at large to assist the security in achieving the goal of a violence-free election process. 

This, he said, would maintain Ghana’s reputation globally as one of the most democratic and peaceful countries in the world.  

Mr. Dzineku, speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), noted that the security personnel were not going to witch-hunt any citizen at the polling centres but rather to protect lives and properties, hence the need for the electorates to collaborate with the security that would be deployed to the various polling stations.  

The Divisional Commander lauded the people of Ada for their peaceful coexistence and urged them to keep up with their good records of violence-free election processes over the years.  

He further advised the electorates to go out and vote as part of their right as citizens, advising them to return home immediately after exercising their franchise to prevent any distractions of the electoral process. 

He added that they could return to observe the counting and experience the process in a violence-free mode. 

“But it will be best if after voting, you go home to read the results online and listen to or watch the processes on radio and TV,” he advised.  

ACP Dzineku further reiterated the readiness of the police to maintain peace and order during the general elections.
