By Daniel Agbesi Latsu

Kadjebi (O/ R), May 15, GNAT – Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Mr Alex Acquah, the Oti Regional Police Commander, has advised Party Agents assigned to the Voter Registration centres to desist from interfering with the electoral process.

He said their unnecessary challenges of potential registrants could create chaos at these centres, so they must cease and rather follow the due process.

The Regional Commander said instead they should allow the applicant to go through the process and a Challenge Form filled against, but not prevented from registering.

ACP Acquah gave this warning, when he visited the premises of Kadjebi District Office of Electoral Commission (EC) to observe how the Limited Voter Registration exercise was going.

ACP Acquah, who was accompanied to the E.C Office registration centre by Supt. Frank Nana Asomaning, the Kadjebi District Police Commander, said Ghana needed peace before, during and after the December 7 polls.
