Ghana won’t experience any war regardless of 2024 election’s outcome – NPP
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has assured Ghanaians that the country will remain peaceful regardless of the outcome of the 2024 general elections.
This reassurance comes in response to recent comments made by Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who stated that his party would not sign a peace declaration ahead of the elections.
In a statement, the NPP described Asiedu Nketia’s remarks as “unfortunate” and “incendiary,” condemning them as likely to create fear and unrest among supporters.
The NPP expressed concern that such rhetoric might lead to an environment of suspicion, potentially fueling tensions ahead of the polls.
The statement, signed by NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, emphasized the party’s unwavering commitment to peace, both before and after the elections.
Kodua highlighted that the NPP has consistently signed peace accords since 2008, regardless of whether it was in power or opposition, and has always abided by the outcomes of elections in the interest of national stability.
“Finally, we want to remind the NDC that Ghanaians are peace-loving people, and by the grace of God, Ghana will not experience any war regardless of the outcome of the 2024 general elections. The will of the
Ghanaians will always prevail,” the statement reads.
The NPP underscored that since the Fourth Republic’s inception, it has consistently championed peace and urged the NDC to reconsider its stance, urging them to avoid actions that might inflame political tensions.
The party also called on the National Peace Council, civil society groups, and religious and traditional leaders to join in urging the NDC to support peace initiatives.
As the country heads toward the 2024 elections, the NPP remains committed to peaceful political discourse and electoral processes.
