Ahead of the high-stakes Akwatia Constituency parliamentary by-election in the Eastern Region of Ghana, personnel of the Ghana Police Service have embarked on what they called assurance parade in the Constituency.
The Police embarked on the parade on Sunday, August 31, 2025 ahead of the election scheduled for Tuesday, September 2.
The parade, according to the police, forms part of measures to reassure residents, stakeholders, and political parties of their readiness to maintain law and order before, during, and after the polls.
An assurance parade—a standard security practice ahead of major elections—demonstrates the police’s preparedness to respond swiftly to any breaches of the peace and deters acts of violence or intimidation.
The Ghana Police Service also used the parade to remind voters in Akwatia of the electoral rules to follow on election day.
They reiterated their commitment to ensuring a peaceful and credible by-election and urged the public and all political actors to cooperate with security agencies for a smooth electoral process.
