The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) is calling on Ghanaians to resist political division during this year's election.
GBA's President, Yaw Acheampong Boafo, has urged citizens to exercise their civic rights consistently, regardless of the political party in power.
In his New Year Message, Acheampong Boafo emphasised the importance of cherishing and safeguarding the peace the country currently enjoys, considering it the most vital resource.
“To our countrymen who need no reminding that 2024 is an election year, we urge you to continue to be model citizens and engage your full citizenship for national development, irrespective of who holds the reins of political power.”
“There is more that unites us than divides us. We must cherish our unity in diversity. Let’s act in the hospitality of our forefathers and not allow politicians in their Machiavellian pursuit of political power to divide us on ethnic, religious, and other divisive pranks.”
He further expressed his team's dedication to wholeheartedly collaborate with the judiciary, under the leadership of Chief Justice Her Ladyship Gertrude Torkonoo, in the pursuit of comprehensive access to justice reforms for the benefit of citizens.
“We will continue our cooperation with the judiciary, and our Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo, to ensure access to justice reforms for all Ghanaians and smooth administration of justice,” he assured.
