Military personnel have been spotted at the Weija ITS polling station in Accra today, December 7, 2024, despite earlier assurances from security forces that the military would not be deployed to polling centres.
The sighting has raised concerns among some voters and election observers, as it deviates from the official statement provided by the security agencies ahead of the general election.
The Ghana Police Service had previously reassured the public that only the police and other authorised security personnel would be stationed at polling stations to ensure law and order during the election.
The presence of military personnel at Weija ITS polling station has sparked confusion and led to questions about the consistency of the security arrangements.
