First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to cast their ballots peacefully in the upcoming December 7 elections and remain patient for the results.
Speaking to constituents in the Trobu and Okaikwei North constituencies in the Greater Accra Region during her campaign and thank-you tour, she encouraged voters to avoid conflicts and peacefully participate in the election process.
She reassured the public that security agencies, including the police, would ensure a smooth and safe election day, emphasizing there was no reason to fear while casting their votes.
In her address, Mrs. Akufo-Addo also called on voters to support the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and the NPP parliamentary candidates.
She highlighted the importance of continuity in governance, urging the electorate to vote for Dr. Bawumia to sustain the development initiatives started by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Mrs. Akufo-Addo praised Dr. Bawumia’s intelligence and abilities, stressing his potential to lead Ghana to greater progress.
“Dr Bawumia understands digitalization and technology, which are needed in our present world to solve present-day challenges and when voted into office, he has many ideas to bring on board to advance Ghana’s development,” she said.
While urging supporters to “spread the good news” to support Dr Bawumia’s win in the elections, Mrs Akufo-Addo also implored them to vote for the NPP parliamentary candidates; Madam Gloria Owusu of the Trobu Constituency and Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei of Okaikoi North Constituency to win their respective seats.
Madam Owusu urged all eligible voters in the Trobu Constituency to vote massively for the NPP for a convincing win.
“We do not want the situation where the NDC will disagree with losing this election so let us vote massively and widen the gap so they won’t have any reason to contest the results.
“Vote number 1 for both Dr Bawumia and Gloria and tell all your friends, family, and loved ones to do the same,” she urged.
On her part, Mrs Asiamah-Adjei encouraged her constituents to go all out to cast their ballots on Saturday, without fear or intimidation, assuring them of utmost security on the day.
