A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) and national stakeholders to uphold and protect Ghana’s democratic peace as the December 7 elections approach.
In a statement issued on December 3, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe appealed to prominent national figures to fulfill their obligations in ensuring stability and fairness during this critical period.
Addressing Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, he emphasized the EC’s pivotal role in conducting credible elections, urging her to maintain the institution’s longstanding legacy of integrity, transparency, and impartiality.
“You are not the first to hold this esteemed office, and you will not be the last. The legacy of this institution has always been one of fairness, transparency, and impartiality,” Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe stated.
He also called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to uphold his commitment to peace and fairness, ensuring that the EC and other state institutions inspire public trust.
Reflecting on the successful elections of 2016 and 2020, he encouraged the president to sustain Ghana’s reputation for democratic excellence.
In addition, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe urged the clergy, traditional leaders, and members of the Council of State to abandon their silence in moments of national crisis.
He encouraged them to champion peace, accountability, and national stability, cautioning against partisan alignments.
To the citizens of Ghana, he stressed the importance of vigilance and prioritizing national interests over political loyalties.
“To my fellow Ghanaians, I urge you to stay vigilant. Let us not allow partisan loyalties to blind us to the dangers we face. This is a time to prioritize the future of Ghana above all else. Our collective voice must call for peace, fairness, and accountability from every institution,” he advised.
