DSP Stephen Dapaah, at Nsawam Police Command, in his presentation on Public Order Act, advised the Political parties to notify the Police before embarking on any Political party rallies or campaigns. He admonished them from the use of intemperate and defamatory language, often exhibited in activities of some Political parties.

The Officer from Nsawam office of the Electoral Commission, Mr. Addin William said electoral violence is perpetrated by Political parties activist and in most cases, the end result is horrible. If something went wrong at a pooling station, they must follow procedures for redress, rather than taking the laws into their hand and act violently.

He added, "you must seek permission from individual property owners, especially where the property has been labeled post no bill"
