Following the walk, Eastern Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Joseph Owusu-Bempah, addressed the gathering and urged journalists to exercise caution when reporting on the NPP’s Presidential Primaries, slated for Saturday, January 31, 2026, to elect their new leader for the 2028 elections.
