The government has assured the international community that the upcoming presidential and parliamentary primaries will be free, fair, and peaceful.
According to the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, the state is committed to ensuring all structures are in place to prevent conflicts before, during, and after the elections.
He gave this assurance while delivering an address on behalf of President Akufo-Addo at the 248th year of independence of the United States of America, marked at the US Embassy Garden in Accra.
Mr Dame noted that more than 60 nations, including the United States, would be organising elections, but just as in the US, Ghana's elections would be devoid of electoral violence.
“As you may all be aware, we are at a momentous point in the practice of democracies around the world. As 2024 we will witness national elections in more than 64 countries globally. Including Ghana and the United State of America. We will watch with keen interest as voters in both countries exercise their democratic rights and open the next chapter of the two nations in their respective political landscape…
“The government of Ghana assures the United State of America and the entire international community of its commitment to ensure that Ghana’s upcoming elections will be peaceful, transparent and free and fair,” he said.
