President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Wednesday announced to the United Nations that Ghanaians have agreed to work together to ensure transparent, free, fair, safe and credible elections.
President Akufo-Addo said this in a televised address he delivered from his base in Accra at the 75th Session of the United Nations’ General Assembly which was held in New York in the United State of America (USA).
He said the general election would be the eighth since Ghana embarked on the constitutional rule in the Fourth Republic in 1992.
President Akufo-Addo said “paramount in everyone’s consideration was the Ghana Project, which aimed at modernising all aspects of our lives, and bring prosperity to our land.”
“I have no doubt whatsoever that, at the end of the elections, we shall be proud of ourselves, Africa will have good cause to be proud of us, and the rest of the world will find lessons to learn from us,” he said.
The President said the political season was at its peak, as the country prepared for presidential and parliamentary elections in December.
Like everything else, he said, even the politicking had been affected by the pandemic, and that political parties could not campaign for votes in in the traditional manner.
He said political parties were relying on technology to propagate their messages in the time of COVID-19.
