The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) together with other faith base religions in the country nationwide has called for peaceful coexistence among various political parties in the country .
Specifically, the council enjoyed members of political parties and the general public in Accra to continue to live in a harmonious relationship towards endearing peace in the December 7th elections.
The President of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo who was represented by his Minister of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, made the appeal while addressing newsmen at the forecourt of state house on Sunday November 3 2024.
He said that any action that could lead to ethnic bigotry and a war of attrition should be avoided among various stakeholders in the incoming elections.
President Akufo-Addo further cautioned political parties and religious leaders to avoid divisive rhetoric and premature declarations of victory, underscoring the importance of unity as Ghana prepares for the 2024 general elections.
“We in Ghana have grown and must learn the lessons of having peaceful elections. We must avoid the use of provocative and abusive language in our campaigning. Let us respect the electorate and not assume that one political party has already won the election when a single ballot is yet to be cast.”
