Since the elections began on December 7, the directorate led by Dennis Miracles Aboagye has held three briefings at the base.

In their briefings, the directorate addressed several issues, including NDC's alleged interception of 5000 ballot papers in Kwadaso.

Reports indicate that the directorate was planning to host two more conferences between 9 pm and 2 am.
