According to Member of Parliament for Builsa North, James Agalga, the IGP failed to protect the lives of innocent Ghanaian citizens leading to the tragic death of some of these persons. The Joint Operation centre of the National Election Security Taskforce (NESTF) recorded a total number of 61 electoral and post-electoral incidents nationwide, of which 21 are true cases of electoral violence that involved gunshots. Reacting to this report, James Agalga wondered why the IGP is still at post. He said if he fails to resign, the president should immediately dismiss the IGP as he was the chairman of the Election Security Taskforce who supervised the elections. Speaking on CitiNews, James Agalga said “the IGP appeared before us (Parliament) and assured us that he was the chairman of the Election Security Taskforce.
