The Paramount chief of the Ntrubo North Traditional Area, Nana Obirikitibi Amnadu Okordie I, has urged political leaders to prioritize peace and unity in the lead-up to the upcoming elections.
Nana Obirikitibi pointed out that challenges such as electoral integrity issues, voter intimidation, vote buying, and manipulation of electoral processes continue to undermine the credibility of elections in Ghana.
He stressed the importance of strengthening electoral institutions, enforcing electoral laws, and promoting transparency as essential elements for ensuring free and fair elections.
The Chief made these comments during the recent celebration of the Kedesa Festival in the Bontibor community of Nkwanta South.
He encouraged leaders from both political parties to build consensus, foster dialogue among stakeholders, and address grievances, as these are vital for maintaining peace and promoting national reconciliation.
The Member of Parliament for the area, Geoffrey Kini, assured the community of his commitment to ensuring peace before, during, and after the elections.
He stated that the NDC, as a political party, is recognized for advocating peace and will not take any actions that could disrupt the existing tranquillity in the area.
The MP urged the people to vote for experienced leadership, specifically, John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, who prioritize the welfare of the citizens, arguing that the NPP and its leadership have caused significant hardships for Ghanaians.
