MONROVIA, November 21 (LINA) - Police Inspector General Chris Massaquoi has assured candidates in the December 16 Senatorial Election of equal security protection during the political campaigning process.
Colonel Massaquoi also emphasized that regardless of political affiliation, tribe or ideology, the police will perform its duties of providing full protection for all citizens without favor.
He made the statement at the Ministry of Information daily Ebola press conference held at the ministry in Monrovia on Friday.
Massaquoi also appealed to political parties, independent candidates and voters to conduct themselves in an orderly manner and avoid coming into conflict with the law.
He said the LNP will be on full alert to probe any formal complaint filed by any political party or independent candidate against another party or contestant regarding the violation of the rights of others.
According to Massaquoi, if candidates and partisans refrain from negative campaign practices that could give rise to violence, the election process will be safe for all Liberians to freely participate.
“The LNP is in full support of the President’s call for orderly and peaceful campaigning and electoral processes,” Massaquoi asserted.
