IPAC: EC boss’ armed with heavy bodyguard

There was anger among some political party representatives during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on Thursday following the presence of armed police personnel brought in by the Electoral Commission.

The party representatives say they went through vigorous searches before they were allowed into the conference room for the meeting.

The National Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Bernard Monah said he was particularly shaken by the move.

The PNC chairman also questioned the presence of police in the IPAC meeting itself, fearing it could start a bad precedent.
