Dr. Asare assured the public that any officer implicated in manipulating the electoral process would face significant repercussions, including possible legal action.
“The commission is committed to transparency and accountability,” Dr. Asare said. “We will not offer protection to any officer, whether permanent or temporary, found involved in electoral malpractices. Such individuals will face the full extent of the law.”
