Political parties set to sign peace pact for December 7 elections today

The National Peace Council will convene today, Thursday, November 28, with political parties and their presidential candidates to sign a peace pact aimed at ensuring a peaceful electoral process ahead of Ghana’s December 7 elections.

The agreement seeks to commit all candidates to uphold peace before, during, and after the polls. Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, Chairman of the National Peace Council, expressed optimism about broad participation.

“We believe all parties will attend. Copies of the pact have been sent for review, and we’ve had no adverse reactions. Preparations for logistics and the signing are underway,” he told Citi News.

Uncertainty clouds the involvement of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). The party’s chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, previously outlined six conditions for participation, including demands for signatures from key government officials like the president, inspector-general of police, and the attorney general.

As of now, the NDC has not confirmed whether it will attend the ceremony, leaving questions about its commitment to the peace initiative.

The peace pact is seen as a critical step to fostering a calm and secure environment for the elections, with the council urging all political actors to support national stability during this crucial period.
