Parliamentary aspirants in the Ho Central Constituency in the Volta Region have committed to sustaining peace before, during, and after the December 7 general elections.

They promised to use their influence to implore their supporters to desist from engaging in any form of violence that may disrupt law and order during the electioneering.

They reached these commitments during the Volta For Peace Concert, 2024 in Ho, sponsored by the Embassy of Denmark.

The Volta For Peace Concert, 2024 powered by Tosh Media with funding from the Embassy of Denmark was aimed at promoting peace ahead of the December 7 general elections.

The concert saw performances from Joe Kapito Gilly Craine, Every day, Mozato, Israel Maweta, and Tony D among others. They took the stage to preach peace through their songs.

An Independent Parliamentary Candidate for Ho Central, Mawulorm Kwame Klutse, entreated his compatriots to desist from dirty politics and engage in politics of ideas and policies.

“Politicians must not engage in politics of insults, lies, and denigrating another party or candidate. You should share your ideas and why you want to govern. We must endeavour to have a peaceful election”, he stressed.

The National Democratic Congress Parliamentary Candidate for Ho Central, Edem Kofi Kpotosu called for "fair and equal playground" and kicked against the deployment of the military to intimidate voters.

“When you preach peace, there should be justice and fair play for all parties. We do not want a situation where a candidate will bring soldiers to a particular area because they won't get votes from there, to intimidate electorates”, he said.

The New Patriotic Party Candidate for Ho Central and Ho Municipal Chief Executive, Divine Bosson advocated for an electioneering devoid of personal attacks.

“You can disagree to agree. Share your plans with the electorates, if they buy into it, they will vote for you. The coming election should be issue-based and not political affiliations”, he added.

The Volta Regional Chairman of the Peace Council, Rev. Seth Mawutor entreated the Electoral Commission, political parties, electorates, and security services to play their respective roles to ensure a peaceful election.

All the parliamentary candidates and stakeholders committed to maintaining peace during the electioneering.
