12 presidential aspirants sign peace pact today

The National Peace Council in collaboration with the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG) will host a peace pact signing ceremony today, Thursday, November 28, with all political parties and their presidential candidates contesting the December 7 elections.
The agreement seeks to ensure a peaceful electoral process by requiring candidates to commit to maintaining peace before, during, and after the polls.
Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, expressed optimism about the candidates’ participation in the exercise.
“We believe that all the parties will be there.
We have commitments from them, and copies of the pact have been shared for review.
So far, there have been no adverse reactions from any party. Preparations for logistics and other requirements for the signing are ongoing,” Rev. Dr. Adu-Gyamfi said.
Rev Dr Adu-Gyamfi spoke in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM.
However, uncertainty surrounds the participation of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The party’s Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, previously indicated that the NDC might abstain from the peace pact.
In August, the NDC outlined six conditions for its involvement.
These include the participation of the President, the Inspector-General of Police, the Chief Justice, the National Security Coordinator, and the Attorney General in the signing of the agreement.
As of now, it remains unclear if any NDC representatives will attend the ceremony.
The Peace Council is hopeful that all stakeholders will commit to the initiative, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful electoral process for national stability.
