As Ghana approaches the December 7 polls, let us remember that democracy is not merely a process, it is a promise. A promise that every voice matters, every vote counts and every individual deserves respect and dignity.
On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we reaffirm our collective commitment to inclusion, empathy and patience. For many within the disability community, voting often presents unique challenges. However, together, we can make this election a reflection of good governance and equal participation.
To our voters: Show care. Exercise patience. Lend a helping hand when needed. A society that uplifts its most vulnerable members is one founded on strength and justice. On December 7, let us ensure that no Ghanaian is left behind.
By leading with compassion and understanding, we can demonstrate that Ghana’s democracy shines brightest when it honors the dignity and humanity of all its citizens.
