The Member of Parliament (MP) for Cape Coast South Constituency, George Kwaku Ricketts-Hagan, has called on Ghanaians not to panic in the upcoming general elections but to visit their various voting centres and cast their votes peacefully.

He again admonished the electorate not to see the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections as a do-or-die affair, as this is merely a process for them to elect a new crop of leaders.

“Ghana is a peaceful country. We have had elections multiple times, and we have done it peacefully. Many a time, we will go to an election, and some people will try to undermine the democracy that we are enjoying. I just pray and hope that we will have peaceful elections,” Kwaku Ricketts-Hagan observed.

In an exclusive interview with MyNewsGh.com reporter Hajia Asana Gordon, Kwaku Ricketts-Hagan tasked NDC members to work very hard since the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has shown that it has nothing to offer Ghanaians.

“We need to work very hard to increase our votes and win the elections convincingly because Ghanaians are eager for NDC to win the 2024 elections,” Kwaku Ricketts-Hagan added.

“I am assuring you that the Cape Coast South Constituency of the NDC will never, not shortly, lose the parliamentary elections,” he stated. “My next four years is to tap into John Dramani Mahama’s policies, including the 24-hour economy,” he stressed, while promising to set up or create Kotokruaba market microfinance loans to give soft loans to women to expand or improve their businesses since most of the women are breadwinners.
