General News of Thursday, 10 December 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe military was only used in emergency situations at polling centres – IGP clarifiesplay videoInspector-General of Police, James Oppong-BoanuhThe Inspector-General of Police, James Oppong-Boanuh has squashed claims that military men were deployed at various polling centres on December 7 to oversee the electoral process. The core election duty was at the polling stations and the collation centres where personnel of the various security agencies were deployed without the involvement of the military." The IGP furthered that, "The military, together with the various Operation Units of the Ghana Police Service were deployed for back-up in emergency situations. The military was not involved in the duties at the polling stations but were called in under rapid response and emergency situations only. The impression being created that the military was used at the polling stations is therefore not correct."
