The signing of the Peace Pact by presidential candidates in the December 7 general election is slated for Thursday, November 28, in Accra, Mr George Amoh, Executive Secretary of, the National Peace Council, has disclosed.
The Peace Pact is aimed at promoting peaceful conduct among political parties in the December 7 general election.
Mr Amoh made the disclosure during a meeting with Mr Mohammed Lawan Gana, Resident Representative of ECOWAS in Ghana and the advanced team of the ECOWAS Election Observation Mission in Accra.
The Executive Secretary noted that the Peace Council was still working with stakeholders to address some bottlenecks towards the signing of the Peace Pact.
He said Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) had given an indication of his readiness to sign the Peace Pact.

The funding support is part of efforts by the regional bloc under its protocol on democracy and good governance to support activities geared towards the peaceful conduct of Ghana’s December 7 general election.
