Accra, Aug 25, GNA – Professor Alfred McBagonluri, President of the Academic City University, Accra, has cautioned the State, particularly the security apparatus, against the deployment of the military to voting and collation centres in the upcoming 2024 General Election.
That, he said, was the only way to avoid voter intimidation and minimise political tensions during the polls.
“I think people just need to understand that voting is a civil responsibility, we all need to go out there and do it but nobody should riot, we don’t need to deploy military to our polls to intimidate anyone. I just think it needs to be civil and it needs to be civilised,”Prof McBagonluri said
He gave the advice in an interview with the media on the sidelines of the 10th anniversary conference of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, in Accra, over the weekend.
The Fellowship is a flagship programme of the United States (US) Department of State’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), which brings together young African leaders from various sectors to develop leadership skills, foster cross-cultural understanding, and create a network of future leaders committed to creating change on the continent.
