President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has made a heartfelt appeal to Ghanaians to safeguard peace during the upcoming elections on December 7.
He emphasized the importance of preserving Ghana’s hard-earned democratic credentials, describing them as a national treasure that must be protected at all costs.
Speaking at a Thanksgiving service at the Cathedral Anglican Church in Accra, marking the start of his three-day tour of the Greater Accra Region, President Akufo-Addo reiterated his call for a violence-free election.
He urged all citizens to ensure that the electoral process is conducted peacefully, reflecting the nation’s commitment to democracy.
“My message today is a simple one, across the world, when people speak about Africa and democracy, the country that they refer to as the country which is the beacon of democratic governance on our continent, they talk about Ghana.
“And on Saturday [December 7], we are going to get another opportunity, the ninth successive opportunity we have to demonstrate to the world that we understand what democratic government is about.
“That every four years, the people are allowed to decide who will rule and govern them in their name. So that is going to happen again this Saturday.
“I am appealing to all of you, the Electoral Commission, the security services, and the government, to have all made arrangements to make sure that everything goes peacefully and properly. I am appealing to you to make sure that what happens here next Saturday is indeed peaceful, free and fair.”
