Political vigilantism in Ghana has become more dangerous. It has changed from young party members gathering to organized groups.
This warning comes from the National Security Coordinator, COP Dr Osman Alhassan Abdul Razak. He spoke at a meeting about elections.
Dr Razak explained that these groups can now threaten how elections are run. They also pose a risk to national security.
What started as youth mobilization for political parties has now become a more serious threat.
The coordinator did not give specific names of groups. He stressed the need to address this evolving problem.
The dialogue focused on ways to prevent vigilantism. It highlighted the importance of protecting Ghana's democratic processes.
Authorities are concerned about the potential for violence and disruption.
Steps are being considered to dismantle these organized groups.
