Our democracy is our responsibility - NPP General Secretary calls for unity and peace

The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has assured Ghanaians of a peaceful and violence-free 2024 general election.

Addressing the public during a recent engagement, he stressed the importance of upholding Ghana’s democratic values and called on security agencies to play their part effectively in maintaining order.

“Ghana’s democracy is respected globally, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure it stays that way,” Kodua stated. He underlined that the true winner of the elections will be Ghana itself, not any individual party or candidate.

“The NPP has always championed peace and respect for the rule of law, and we will continue to do so,” he added.

Despite these assurances, Kodua expressed concerns about potential threats to a peaceful electoral process. Reflecting on the recent Assin North by-election, which saw incidents of violence, he admitted it was a worrying precedent.

“We hope not to see a repeat of such disturbances in the general elections,” he remarked, urging all stakeholders to prioritize Ghana’s stability over political interests.

The NPP’s General Secretary reaffirmed the party’s dedication to due process and the principles of democracy.

He noted that any actions undermining these principles would not only harm the election’s credibility but also dent Ghana’s reputation as a beacon of democracy in Africa.
