DCOP Kofi Boakye further urged politicians to disabuse their minds of any hope that the police will help any party to win the upcoming general elections.
“The Police are going to a political, impartial and will apply the law without any favoritism and we’ll be very firm. So anybody who has anything intention that the police will be helping one party over the other must disabuse his/her mind of that. In any case every policeman has just one vote therefore if you have any mind that the policeman can help you win election, then it’s a mirage. You can only win election through your campaigning and what you do for yourself”.
