Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Mr Alex Acquah, the Oti Regional Police Commander, has advised Party Agents assigned to the Voter Registration centres to desist from interfering with the electoral process.
He said their unnecessary challenges of potential registrants could create chaos at these centres, so they must cease and rather follow the due process.
