President Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians to uphold peace during the upcoming elections on December 7.
He emphasised the significance of safeguarding the nation’s democratic heritage.
Speaking during a Thanksgiving service at the Cathedral Anglican Church in Accra, which marked the commencement of his three-day tour of the Greater Accra Region, the President stressed the need for a violence-free electoral process.
He described Ghana’s democratic credentials as a precious asset that must be protected at all costs.
“My message today is straightforward. When people across the world discuss Africa and democracy, Ghana is often cited as the beacon of democratic governance on our continent. This Saturday, December 7, we have our ninth consecutive opportunity to reaffirm this status and demonstrate to the world our understanding of democratic governance,” he said.
The President urged all stakeholders, including the Electoral Commission, security agencies, and citizens, to ensure the elections are peaceful, free, and fair.
“Arrangements have been made to facilitate a smooth process, and I appeal to all Ghanaians to contribute to ensuring that Saturday’s event reflects our commitment to peace and democracy,” he added.
