President Akufo-Addo has reiterated his commitment to leaving a peaceful democratic nation after his tenure.

According to him, Ghana has a history of conducting peaceful elections and has successfully done so eight times already in the 4th Republic, and this time will be no different.

He stated that the will of the people will not be manipulated adding that “We want to maintain the reputation we have as a democratic and open society in Ghana.”

“And we are going to do everything possible to make sure that the elections on the 7th of December are free, fair and credible. We do not subscribe to the view that a group of people can manipulate the will of the people and impose a leader on them.”

President Akufo-Addo made this statement on Monday, June 24, 2024.

“We think that the choice of leader of a country should be the unreserved unqualified exercise of sovereign will by the population in the country and we are going to do everything to make sure that the elections that are held in December reflect the will of our people, and not attempts by any particular groups of people to impose themselves on our country,” the President said.

He said this when the Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana, Henryk Mieczysław Jagodziński, paid a farewell call on him at the Jubilee House.

The Apostolic Nuncio, Henryk Mieczysław Jagodziński was grateful to President Akufo-Addo and Ghanaians for the warm reception offered him during his four-year stay in the country.
