National Peace Council has called on political parties to take responsibility for restoring public confidence in political institutions and leadership.

According to the Council, parties can rebuild trust by prioritising transparency, integrity, unity, and responsible conduct.

Speaking at the National Dialogue on Peace Beyond Election 2024 on Saturday, September 21, Executive Secretary George Amoh emphasised that political parties must ensure fair elections, respect democratic processes, and prioritise the well-being of citizens.

These efforts, he noted, will help strengthen public faith in the political system.

Amoh also highlighted the crucial role of the Electoral Commission (EC) in addressing these trust issues.

“The posture we put up sometimes—if your words do not go with your body language, it will create some doubts in the minds of the people,” he said.

Regarding the issue with the voters’ register, Mr Amoh said that the Council has engaged both the EC and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and an agreeable solution will be found to resolve the matter.

“We are working not behind the scenes; we intend to come out latest by Monday, looking at the variables.

We are, of course, our leaders; we believe that they have good intentions for our country; what we need to do is create an environment for them to help shape our country to the Ghana we all want,” he added.
