Ahafo regional NADMO and security agencies declare readiness for any emergency situations in the December elections 

The Ahafo Regional National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and other security agencies have expressed their readiness to protect and maintain peace before during and after the December 2020 election.

Even though, the Coronavirus Pandemic has restricted Political parties from organising symposiums across the length and breadth of this great nation. Notwithstanding, some parties are seriously embarking on House to House Campaign to canvass votes.

Civil societies and other religious bodies are preaching peace ahead of the elections.

The Regional NADMO Secretariat undertook Pre- Election Functional Stimulation Exercise which was nationwide with the Emergency Operation Centre at NADMO Headquarters, which served as the upper control room and the respective sixteen Regional offices served as lower control rooms.

Speaking at the Ahafo Regional lower control room, Collins Osei Bonsu, who is the Ahafo Regional Director for NADMO outlined their preparedness for all eventualities in the upcoming elections.

Mr Bonsu added that, Ahafo NADMO is poised for the rehabilitation of services for victims of disasters and mobilising of people at various levels of societies to support governmental programmes. Moreover, their readiness of the region in the management of disasters cannot be swept under a carpet.

He cautioned all Political parties supporters to comport themselves before, during and after the general elections to prevent all forms of calamities.

It is very imperative to note that, the Functional Stimulation Exercise was to test the preparedness of NADMO, stakeholders and other security agencies on the upcoming elections.
