The peace and tranquility of our country mean more to me than anything else – Mahama

Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanains that the main opposition party will not act in ways that jeopardize the peace of the country.

He says the peace and tranquility of our country mean more to me than anything else. Mr Mahama urged all stakeholders in the elections to also conduct themselves in a manner that promotes peace ahead of the polls.

He says Ghana has always been the envy of many countries due to the peaceful nature of the country hence that accolade must be destroyed.

Ghanaians go to the polls on December 7 to elect a president and members of Parliament to steer the affairs of the country for the next four years starting January 7, 2025.

In a Facebook post, the former president said “My brothers and sisters in the Lord, Ghana is known for its peaceful religious coexistence. We’ve always been the envy of many countries in our sub-region where peace has eluded them.

“As we approach the elections, we should never forget that peace is fragile. Like an egg, once it is cracked, it cannot be put together again without the scars showing. We must never again unleash fatal violence on our people at polling stations, peacefully expressing their democratic rights to choose their leaders.”

He added “The peace and tranquility of our country mean more to me than anything else. I solemnly commit to you that the party I lead will do all in our power to preserve the peace of our dear nation, Ghana.”
