We’ll make sure the EC has credible elections, says Akufo-Addo

Ghanaians have been reassured by President Nana Akufo-Addo that their government will exert every effort to guarantee that the Electoral Commission (EC) conducts a legitimate and equitable election on December 7, 2024.

During his Tuesday, February 27, State of the Nation address, the President emphasized the crucial role that the Electoral Commission plays in ensuring that elections are credible and urged cooperation from all parties involved.

“A lot of responsibility lies on the Electoral Commission to put the organisation in place that will ensure that we have credible elections. The government is doing its part to make the work of the Electoral Commission go smoothly.

“A lot of responsibility lies on the political parties as well and I hope that the political parties recognise that their credibility is also on the line, especially some people wanting to undermine the multiparty democratic system of governance” he said.

“It is up to the parties to demonstrate that competitive elections are honourable character-enhancing experiences and that, at the end of the process, the loser will congratulate the winner and the world does not come to an end because an election has been lost.”

President Akufo-Addo emphasized that his government will make sure that the election message is amplified throughout the nation.

“This is an election year and the increased decibels level in all communications will ensure that even the most politically uninterested person amongst us will know that on December 7, we shall be going to the polls to elect a new president and new Members of Parliament” President Akufo-Addo stated.
