The Ahafo Regional Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Eric Adu, has advised citizens not to see elections as a do-or-die affair, but a means to choose a competent government.
He called on Ghanaians to contribute to a peaceful election and choose visionary and patriotic leaders, who are passionate for development, when they go to the polls on December 7, 2024.
Mr Adu gave the advise while speaking on the topic “Tolerance” at an Inter-Party Dialogue Committee (IPDC) meeting, organised by the Commission at Duayaw-Nkwanta in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region.
“We should endeavour to cope with and accept our human differences (and) move on with our lives peaceably,” he stated.
The Tano North Municipal Director of the NCCE, Joseph Oduro Buabin, highlighted the relevance of the meeting, stressing the need to engage all election stakeholders to dialogue and collaborate effectively to maintain the prevailing peace of the municipality.
He said an atmosphere of peace was required if the nation could choose a good government for progressive development.
The participants were taken through topics, including money in politics, misinformation and disinformation.
In an open forum, many of the participants called for police and military presence at the various polling stations to maintain law and order.
Some of them also urged the various political parties to present well trained, credible and responsible party agents at the polling stations.
Representatives of the various political parties reaffirmed their commitment to promoting a violent-free election.
