The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has commended Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, for the professionalism exhibited by police officers during the recent Ejisu by-election. In an official statement released on May 2 and endorsed by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Koduah Frimpong, the NPP praised Dr. Dampare’s leadership in overseeing the security management of the electoral process.

“We commend the Inspector General of Police and the Ghana Police Service for their tremendous commitment, professionalism, and efforts during and after the election,” the NPP’s statement affirmed. The by-election, held on April 30, was necessitated by the untimely passing of the late Member of Parliament for the area and Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. John Kumah, on March 7.

NPP’s candidate, Kwabena Boateng, secured victory with 27,782 votes, representing 55.8% of the total valid votes cast. Independent parliamentary candidate Ing. Kwabena Owusu Aduomi closely followed, obtaining 21,543 votes, constituting 43.3% of the ballots.

The NPP attributed its success not only to the electorate’s support but also to the professionalism and dedication exhibited by the police officers deployed under the leadership of Inspector-General Dampare.
