No military personnel will be stationed at any polling station – GAF assures

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has assured the public that its personnel will not be stationed at polling stations during the December 7 elections.

Instead, they will act as a standby force, with election security primarily handled by the Ghana Police Service (GPS).

In a press release signed by Brigadier General E. Aggrey-Quashie, GAF clarified that military deployment will occur only upon request by the GPS to ensure peaceful and orderly elections.

The public was urged not to be alarmed by the movement of military personnel in localities.

GAF reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding national stability and protecting the integrity of the electoral process while encouraging citizens to cooperate with security agencies and exercise their civic rights responsibly.
