Catholic Voices GH hosted a memorable choral concert titled "Ghana Asomdwoe," which translates to "Ghana's Peace."

The event took place at the Old Magistrate Court in Wawasi, Obuasi, with the aim of promoting peace ahead of the upcoming General Election on December 7 in the Obuasi East Constituency.

Drawing a diverse audience that included members from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), clergy, civil society organizations, the Ghana Police, the media, and the general public, the concert served as a unifying call for tranquility in the electoral process.

Mr. Joseph Owusu-Addo, the Executive Director of Catholic Voices GH, emphasized the importance of peace in his remarks. "As we approach the elections, it is vital that we all commit to maintaining peace in our communities. Violence and division have no place in our democracy," he stated in an interview following the event.

The concert featured captivating performances by the host choir, Catholic Voices GH, alongside the guest choir, Dom Peace Chorale. Both groups showcased a range of harmonious and patriotic songs, leaving attendees moved and inspired. The music resonated with the audience, reinforcing the message of unity and collective responsibility in nurturing peace.

Various stakeholders, including representatives from both major political parties, the District crime officer, Obuasi East, Hon. Patrick Boakye Yiadom, the Member of Parliament and NPP parliamentary candidate for the 2024 parliamentary election in Obuasi East Constituency, Mr. William Kofi Adzowu (Constituency General Secretary) from the NDC, personnel from the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), and Rev. Fr. John Calistus Sannah, a Catholic priest in the Obuasi Diocese, took turns addressing the crowd, echoing the concert's theme of peace. Their presence underscored a shared commitment to ensuring a calm and secure electoral environment in the lead-up to the elections.

As the night drew to a close, the attendees left with a renewed sense of hope and a collective promise to advocate for peace, not just during the electoral season, but beyond. The "Ghana Asomdwoe" concert was more than just an event; it was a heartfelt plea for harmony in a time when it is most needed.
