2024 Election: EC identifies 7,250 flash points, from 9,644 recorded in 2020

Accra, Oct 08, GNA – The Electoral Commission says it has identified 7,250 hotspots in the country ahead of the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

The figure,the Commission however, said was a decline of the 9,644 flash points it identified in the run-up to the 2020 general election.

Mr Frederick Tetteh, Deputy Director in charge of Research, Monitoring and Evaluation at the EC, who disclosed this during a panel discussion at a multi-stakeholder dialogue on media and security, in Accra, on Tuesday, attributed the drop to the security measures implemented by the Commission and security agencies.

Mr Tetteh added that “identifying a place, a particular polling station as a flash point in 2016, in 2020, it may not be a flash point. In 2020, if we identified a place as a flash point, in 2024, it may not be a flash point.
