The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has confirmed that the NPP is ready to sign a peace pact to ensure a peaceful electoral process ahead of the December 7 elections.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem on Thursday, November 28, Nana B said that the party has been committed to peace for some time now and is prepared to sign the agreement again.
“We have signed for some time now, and we are ready to sign again. Our expectation is that we will show leadership in preserving the unity of the country as we head into these elections,” he said.
The peace pact, which will be signed by all political parties and their presidential candidates, is designed to ensure that candidates commit to maintaining peace before, during, and after the elections.
Nana B also urged the security forces to take necessary action to prevent any violence during the election process.
“As political leaders, we will do our part, and the Electoral Commission (EC) will also do its part to ensure smooth elections,” he added.
He reiterated the NPP’s commitment to a peaceful election.
“We have had peace for years, and we will continue to ensure that nothing will happen. It is important that we avoid anything that could bring chaos,” he stated.
In his message to the media, Nana B called on journalists to remain vigilant in ensuring peace throughout the election period.
“The media must ensure there is peace and avoid spreading anything that could create unrest,” he urged.
Nana B also predicted victory for the NPP in the upcoming elections.
“The NDC will lose the 2024 elections, and they can’t do anything about it,” he stated confidently.
However, there is uncertainty regarding the participation of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The party’s Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has previously indicated that the NDC may not partake in the peace pact, citing concerns about previous election-related violence.
