“The Elections Committee has done very well so far. All the candidates have their representatives there, and they are working diligently to make this election free and fair,” he said.

Dr. Acheampong further revealed that after the party’s internal processes are completed, the Electoral Commission will take over to continue the exercise, with arrangements already underway to ensure adequate security.

According to the aspirant, the extensive safeguards being put in place have significantly reduced any possibility of electoral manipulation.
