Heavy Police presence at Ashanti Regional Council of State election re-run

Heavy police security has been deployed at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi, the new venue for the Ashanti Region's Council of State election.

This follows disruptions that marred the process, prompting authorities to tighten security measures.

The heightened security comes after a group of thugs disrupted voting on February 11, causing confusion and halting proceedings.

The intervention of security forces restored order, preventing further escalation.

The Ashanti Regional Caucus in Parliament has condemned the violence and urged the government to take swift action against those responsible.

Authorities are now focused on ensuring a peaceful and orderly election.
