Dr
Mahamadu
Bawumia,
the
flagbearer
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP)
has
urged
the
Ghana
Police
Service
to
ensure
a
violent-free
election
in
the
upcoming
December
polls.
According
to
the
Vice
President,
Ghana’s
democratic
gains
must
be
consolidated.
Speaking
at
an
event
at
the
Police
CID
Headquarters,
Dr
Bawumia
said
the
Police
have
a
major
role
to
play
in
December.
“The
‘Snatch
Them
Young’
policing
initiative,
which
focuses
on
school
children
amongst
several
other
initiatives,
has
ensured
a
more
responsive,
accountable,
and
operationally
effective
policing
institution.
I
would
like
to
urge
you
to
continue
to
do
more,
especially
as
the
nation
prepares
to
go
into
general
elections
come
December
7,”
Bawumia
urged.
Meanwhile,
President
Akufo-Addo
has
appointed
Commissioner
of
Police
(COP)
Mr.
Christian

Yohuno

charge
of
Operations.
A
statement
signed
by
the
Director
of
Communications
at
the
Presidency,
Eugene
Arhin,
explained
that
the

is

to
the
advice
of
the
Police

at
its
