Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo has appealed to Ghanaians to work towards ensuring that peace prevails in the country during and after the impending elections.

Addressing party supporters at a rally in the Brong Ahafo Region, Nana Akufo-Addo indicated the importance of maintaining a violence free environment before and after elections, describing it as the only way for Ghana to progress.

Nana Akufo-Addo admonished Ghanaians to disallow the negative influence of political parties that thrive on tribal differences to incite violence.

“Ghana needs peace, we should work together to promote the peace of the country. We should hoot at political figures who try to dwell on tribal differences to create misunderstandings among the various tribes and incite violence and yet would bring us nothing better when they win the presidential seat….”

Against that backdrop, Nana Addo urged the electorate not to entertain any fear but come out in their numbers on December 7 and exercise their constitutional rights to ensure the NPP is voted into power.
