The Communications Director at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho has reiterated President Mills’ commitment to deepening the democratic credentials of the country by superintending a peaceful election in December.According to him, Ghana has consistently improved in its electoral processes by moving from the use of identification cards without photos to photo identification, from the use of wooden ballot boxes to transparent ballot boxes and now to biometric registration.These he observed are manifestations of the greater achievements chalked by the country hence the need to protect the peace for accelerated growth. He noted that the only option available to the people is to preserve the peace and not to engage in violence.Koku was speaking to Joy News when he led some officials from the presidency, including the National Youth Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Ludwig Akpene Hlordze on a tour of some registration centers in the Volta region.Mr. Anyidoho urged residence of the region particularly the youth to have confidence in the electoral process and take advantage of the registration exercise. He also urged them not to allow any politician to deceive them to undermine the peace and stability that “we are currently enjoying.”The Communications Director who expressed satisfaction at the ongoing registration exercise in the Volta region said Ghanaians should learn lessons from events within and outside the continent and strive hard to avoid any violent acts that have the tendency to derail Ghana’s democratic progress.Mr. Anyidoho added that the government has made tremendous strides in all the sectors of the economy especially in the provision of educational infrastructure across the country. He added that the Volta region has received its fair share of development projects, citing the expansion of school infrastructure and the construction of new roads among others.He said the people of Akplorwotorkor and Dzita in the Keta Municipality can now boast of a new sea defence constructed in the space of three years; a facility he explained, will protect the life of residence along the coastal areas and enhance the socio economic activities.On his part, Ludwig Hlordze who registered at Akrofo Agorve, his hometown, urged the people to bury their political differences and consider the registration exercise as a national project aimed at enhancing democracy in Ghana.Some of the registration centers visited include Ziavi, Shia, Klave, Tanyigbe and Ho.
