Election Watch Ghana questions cost of 3,000-plus police deployment for NPP delegates election

Election Watch Ghana has raised concerns over the cost and long-term sustainability of deploying more than 3,000 police officers to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegates Conference.

In its October 4 assessment of the election, Election Watch Ghana commended the peaceful conduct of the exercise and the role played by the security agencies but questioned the scale of the police deployment.

The election produced a new national leadership team that will steer the party’s affairs for the next four years as it prepares for the 2028 general election.
