Vice President and Presidential Candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is set to sign a peace pact ahead of the December 7 elections.
The pact, under the auspices of the National Peace Council, signifies a commitment to ensuring a peaceful electoral process.
The announcement was made by Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Spokesperson for the Bawumia Campaign, during an interview on Joy FM.
"Surely he is going to sign the peace pact. He is very committed to it. In spite of all the back and forth and the conversations going on, we have just one Ghana," he said on Newsnite.
The Peace Council’s event, scheduled to take place in Accra tomorrow, will include the customary signing of the peace pact.
The Presidential Peace Pact, the fourth to be signed since the 2012 general election, seeks political parties and their leaderships to commit to peaceful conduct before, during and after the elections.
The public commitment is intended to provide a positive signal to the support bases of the parties and candidates to prevent violence and promote national cohesion.
By signing the pact, political parties and their leaders pledge to respect the electoral process, accept the outcome of the elections, and resolve any disputes that may arise through peaceful means.
This helps to reduce tensions, build trust, and promote a sense of responsibility among political actors.
The pact has become a significant part of the country's electoral process, forming a ritual to promote peace and stability during general election.
Earlier this month, former President and NDC Presidential Candidate, John Mahama criticised President Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia for their absence at the National Peace Campaign launch.
Mr Mahama argued that their attendance was crucial, given their role in ensuring national security and peace.

According to Mr Mahama, he canceled a rally in Karaga in the Northern region to attend the peace event in Accra, only to find both the President and Vice President absent.
He stressed the importance of the President and Vice President prioritising peace efforts, particularly amid rising concerns about security.
He noted that upon inquiring about their absence, he was informed that Dr. Bawumia was attending a youth program focused on employment strategies.
“When I arrived at the event, the President was absent, same as Vice President. You're the ones responsible for the security or the safety of the people. So, if peace talks are ongoing, it is necessary to leave everything you're doing to join."
