The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has called upon Ghanaians to collaborate with the officials of the Electoral Commission and security forces as they participate in the voting process at their respective polling stations on December 7.
In a national address, the President urged voters to refrain from any acts of violence or behavior that could undermine Ghana’s democratic principles.
Emphasizing that Ghana serves as a symbol of hope for the African continent, the President encouraged citizens to exercise their voting rights with peace and dignity.
I urge all of us to cooperate with the electoral officials to do their work and ensure that we can all be proud of having another notch for the list of successful elections we have held. The security agencies led by the Police have also made all the relevant deployments and preparations that will guarantee the peace, law and order of the nation prior to, during and after the elections. Let us all cooperate with them to ensure that the election is conducted in an atmosphere devoid of intimidation and violence.
Let us go and cast our ballots in peace and dignity and in an environment of tolerance and mutual respect. Please, remember that we have a reputation to maintain as a nation of peaceful elections and to cement our ranking as a developed democracy. Each one of us should go out and do his or her duty to ensure a peaceful and prosperous Ghana and vote freely for your preferred candidate.
