President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has pledged to ensure that the December 7 elections are conducted in a free, fair, and peaceful manner.

During a meeting with the Apostolic Nuncio in Ghana, the president firmly stated that no candidate would be imposed on the nation against the will of its citizens.

Highlighting Ghana’s commitment to democratic principles, President Akufo-Addo stressed the significance of allowing the people's sovereign right to choose their leader.

“We are going to do everything possible to make sure that the elections to be held in December are free, fair, and credible,” he assured.

The president categorically rejected any notion of manipulating the electoral process to favor any group or individual.

“We do not subscribe to the view that a group of people can manipulate the will of the people and impose a leader on them. We think that the choice of the leader of a country should be the unreserved, unqualified exercise of sovereign will by the population in the country,” President Akufo-Addo declared.

He added, “We are going to do everything possible to make sure that the elections that are held in December reflect the will of our people,” he concluded.
