President Akufo-Addo further called on citizens, political leaders, and supporters to prioritise unity and peace, urging that Ghana’s democratic principles must remain safeguarded against any form of threat.

“As we approach the 2024 general elections, let me make one thing absolutely clear again. I am unwavering in my commitment to free, fair and transparent elections. Ghana’s democracy is a treasure we have all fought to build and a legacy that must be protected.

“The sovereign will of the Ghanaian people will be upheld, and any attempts to disrupt the peace or undermine the democratic process will be met with the full weight of the law. Let there be no doubt, that our democracy will remain strong and the people’s choice will prevail.”
