EC commended for identifying flashpoints

A  Security Expert, Adib Saani, has commended the Electoral Commission for taking steps to identify flashpoints in the country and adequate measures to curb violence during election.

Speaking on GBC’s ‘Behind The News’, Mr Saani said politics in this part of the world is seen as a do or die affair hence the pockets of violence.

He tasked stakeholders to do their part by preaching peace and also demonstrate it.

The Chairperson of the EC, Mrs Charlotte Osei, who announced this, said the EC had started a project, together with the Ghana Police Service, to map out all the polling stations in the country, especially those in the flashpoints, to ensure adequate security at all polling centres and the EC’s regional offices.
