Ghana’s Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has promised the United States and the international community that the December elections will be peaceful and fair. He said this is important because many countries around the world are also having elections this year.
Mr. Dame spoke at the 248th Independence Anniversary of the USA in Accra on Thursday. He noted that both Ghana and the USA are getting ready for their elections and expressed confidence that everything would go smoothly, reinforcing their reputations as strong democracies.
As you may all be aware, we are at a momentous point in the practice of democracy around the world, as 2024 will witness national elections in more than sixty-four (64) countries globally, including Ghana and the United States of America.
“As we prepare for the upcoming elections, it is my hope and belief that the process will be smooth, devoid of polemics and tribulations, and once again consolidate the status of our two nations as models for democracy around the world.”
He further explained that the democratic process not only decides the future leadership of a country but also reflects the hopes and prosperity of its citizens.
“The world will be closely observing as voters in both countries exercise their democratic rights, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the political landscapes of the two nations.
Recognising the importance of civic engagement in promoting social justice and strengthening democracy, the Government of Ghana assures the United States of America and the entire international community of its commitment to ensuring that Ghana’s upcoming elections will be peaceful, transparent, free and fair,” Mr Dame stated.
