“Let us go and cast our ballots in peace and dignity and in an environment of tolerance and mutual respect. Each one of us should go out and do his or her duty to ensure a peaceful and prosperous Ghana and vote freely for your preferred candidate.
“Do this in peace and dignity. It is an individual and collective responsibility. Go and vote. You owe to Ghana and to yourself. Please remember that we have a reputation to maintain as a nation of peaceful elections and to cement our ranking as a developed democracy.”
President Akufo-Addo further urged the citizens to collaborate with the security agencies to guarantee that the general election is held without violence or intimidation.
“The security agencies, led by the police, have also made all the relevant deployments and preparations that will guarantee the peace, law, and order of the nation prior to, during, and after the election. Let us all cooperate with them to ensure that the election is conducted in an atmosphere devoid of intimidation and violence.”
