He stated that the President and the Election Security Taskforce must urgently enforce law and order.
“To President Mahama, we call on you to take immediate steps to call your party’s thugs to order.

We also call on the Ghana Police Service, the IGP, and the Election Security Taskforce to rise to the occasion and enforce law and order without hesitation,” he stated.
Citing the chaos that has delayed the collation of the Ablekuma North constituency parliamentary election, Mr. Shaib called for swift action to ensure that the Electoral Commission (EC) works without interference.
