Bantama Brigade for Peace calls for heightened security ahead of NPP constituency elections
The Bantama Brigade for Peace called on the Ghana Police Service to heighten security ahead of the continuation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bantama Constituency Executive Elections, expressing concern over what it describes as repeated threats of violence linked to the electoral process. In a statement issued on Sunday, the group alleged that similar public warnings by Fiifi Mensah preceded the disruption of the election on Saturday, during which election materials were reportedly vandalised, officials were allegedly assaulted, and the exercise was suspended.
The group noted that the arrest of suspects in connection with the incident underscored the seriousness of the disturbances. It claimed it had become aware of fresh public statements warning of chaos should the elections continue, arguing that the repeated comments had created fear and anxiety among delegates and members of the public. The group urged the Police to treat Mr. Fiifi Mensah as a person of interest if any acts of violence, intimidation, vandalism or disruption occur during the election, provided evidence establishes that he incited, organised, encouraged or was otherwise connected to any unlawful acts.
