A heavy security presence and stringent checks have been deployed by the police at the Prempeh College Assembly Hall, which is the new venue for the Council of State election in the Ashanti Region.
This move comes in response to disturbances that marred the electoral process, prompting authorities to take precautionary measures to ensure a smooth and secure voting environment.
The need for heightened security became apparent after a group of thugs disrupted the election process on Tuesday, February 11, causing confusion and halting proceedings.
The incident led to widespread concern among stakeholders, prompting immediate intervention by security forces to restore order and prevent further escalation of tensions.
The Ashanti Regional Caucus in Parliament strongly condemned the acts of violence and called on the government to take swift action against those responsible for the disruptions.
