Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has emphasized the importance of keeping military personnel away from polling stations during the upcoming general elections on December 7.
Bagbin stated that his office plans to engage with the President, political party leaders, security agencies, and other key stakeholders to ensure the elections are conducted in a free, fair, and credible manner.
In his address to Parliament on Tuesday, June 11, Bagbin stressed that the military should only intervene at polling stations if a situation arises that requires their presence.
“We do not want to see military personnel during the election. They should only be called upon if necessary, but they should not be stationed at polling or voting centres,” Bagbin declared.
He also mentioned that clergy members and prominent civil society figures will be actively involved in the election process, noting that the current atmosphere in the country does not inspire confidence and hope.
