The National House of Chiefs has called on all parties involved in Ghana’s electoral process to ensure a transparent and peaceful atmosphere for the next elections in 2024.
The National House of Chiefs claims that if free and fair elections are not held, the nation could return to the violent, dark times that characterized previous elections.
Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, the president of the National House of Chiefs, stated during a meeting in Kumasi that a transparent voting process will prevent the violence that characterized earlier elections.
“The EC, political parties, media, election observers, and electorates should focus on free and fair elections and our campaigns should be based on issues. Campaigning should be decent and should be focused on issues not insults or attacks on opponents.
“The EC working with all stakeholders should continue to promote the atmosphere for free, fair and peaceful elections so that losers will accept their loss in good faith. Electoral violence is expensive and should be avoided at all costs. We have only one country. That is Ghana,” he stressed.
