What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Accra, Oct 11, GNA – Ahead of the December 7 general election, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has called for fairness and equity in the allocation and use of state security resources (personnel) to all flagbearers.

Dr Kojo Pumpuni Asante, the Director of Programmes and Policy Engagement, CDD-Ghana, appealed to the National Election Security Task Force (NESTF) to engage all candidates and political parties to discuss the provision of security for flagbearers and their vice presidential candidates.

He further urged the NESTF to discuss ground rules on campaigning in the next two months before elections, stating that a similar arrangement was put in place in 2016 after the South African policemen incident.

Dr Asante made the appeal in his presentation at a roundtable meeting on election security for the 2024 general election.

It was organised by the Foundation for Security and Development in Africa (FOSDA) in collaboration with the CDD-Ghana under the auspices of the National Election Response Group (NERG) constituted by the National Peace Council (NPC) and the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) with funding support from the European Union (EU).
