Nketiah further emphasized that a peaceful transition would demonstrate the strength of Ghana’s democratic institutions and set a positive precedent for future elections. He urged both parties to engage in constructive dialogue and uphold the rule of law throughout the transition process.
The call comes amidst growing tensions and concerns over the potential for post-election violence and instability. Nketiah’s message resonates with many Ghanaians who are keen on preserving the country’s reputation as a beacon of democracy in the region.
In conclusion, Nketiah reiterated the NDC’s commitment to upholding the principles of democracy and urged the NPP to act in the best interests of the nation. As Ghana navigates its post-election landscape, the call for a peaceful transfer of power stands as a testament to the nation’s enduring commitment to democratic governance.
