Representatives from all political parties and their presidential candidates are expected to convene and sign a peace pact today, Thursday, November 28.

The peace agreement will bind candidates to uphold peace before, during, and after the elections.

Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, in an interview with Citi FM, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, called on political candidates to partake in the ceremony to ensure a free and fair election.

“So far, we believe that all the parties will be there. We have commitments for all of them. We have sent them a copy of the pact for them to study if they have any comments to come back, and so far, we have not had any adverse reactions from any of the parties."

“And so right now what we are doing is putting down appropriations for the various logistics and the things that need to be done for the signing of the pact.”

There is still uncertainty regarding the participation of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the peace pact.

NDC Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, had indicated that unless specific conditions are met the party will not join in the signing ceremony.

He requested that signatures of key government figures such as the President, the Inspector-General of Police, the Chief Justice, the National Security Coordinator, and the Attorney-General must also be included in the pact.
