Kintampo (Bono East), Oct. 22, GNA – Mr Jacob Gariba-Djampana, the Kintampo North Municipal Director of the Electoral Commission (EC) has assured the commission’s readiness to conduct the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s constituency election, slated for October 22.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Kintampo in the Bono East Region, Mr Gariba-Djampana emphasised that the EC remained an independent body and would not do anything that would undermine its integrity.
He cautioned the various candidates against acts of lawlessness such as vote buying which could mar the beauty of the elections, saying that the commission would not hesitate to hand over deviants to the security services.
Mr Gariba-Djampana noted that only delegates with either valid a Ghana Card, NDC ID Card and or Voter’s ID Card would be verified and allowed to participate in the election.
In a separate interview, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) James Anani, Kintampo North Municipal Commander, indicated that adequate security measures had been put in place to ensure a peaceful election.
He said police personnel had been trained on their mandate and called on the NDC delegates and supporters to remain decorous, before during and after the elections warning that no one was above the law.
