The National House of Chiefs is calling on all stakeholders involved in Ghana's electoral process to give precedence to the establishment of a peaceful and transparent environment leading up to the 2024 elections.

Emphasizing the importance of ensuring free and fair elections, the National House of Chiefs warns that neglecting this aspect may result in a return to the dark chapters of violence that have marred previous electoral events.

Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, the President of the National House of Chiefs, made this appeal during a meeting held in Kumasi. He stressed that a transparent electoral process is crucial in preventing the recurrence of violence that has been associated with past elections in the country.

“The EC, political parties, media, election observers, and electorates should focus on free and fair elections and our campaigns should be based on issues. Campaigning should be decent and should be focused on issues not insults or attacks on opponents.

“The EC working with all stakeholders should continue to promote the atmosphere for free, fair and peaceful elections so that losers will accept their loss in good faith. Electoral violence is expensive and should be avoided at all costs. We have only one country. That is Ghana,” he stressed.
