Bantama Brigade for Peace calls for heightened security ahead of NPP constituency elections

The Bantama Brigade for Peace has 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."We therefore call on the Ghana Police Service to remain on high alert and take every lawful measure necessary to protect lives, maintain public order and ensure that the electoral process is conducted peacefully," the statement said.
