The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Frank Abrokwa, has been removed from his position following the violent disruption of the Council of State regional elections in Kumasi.
His removal takes immediate effect, according to sources within the Ghana Police Service.
Law enforcement officials are currently reviewing video footage from the scene to identify and arrest the individuals involved.While authorities have not publicly stated whether DCOP Abrokwa’s removal is directly linked to the security failures during the elections, his exit follows concerns over how law enforcement handled the situation. The incident has raised questions about security preparedness and the ability of the police to ensure order during key democratic processes.
The Council of State elections play a crucial role in Ghana’s governance, as representatives are selected to advise the President on national matters.
