The Minister emphasized the importance of peace throughout the electoral process, seeking a united Ghana, not a divided one. He stressed that if politicians' goal is to develop the nation through political power, they must reject violence and irresponsible behavior, instead encouraging their supporters to act with civility and humanity.

"We want peace before, during and after this year's election; we want one Ghana in peace not in pieces. After all if it's true that we the politicians our main aim is to win political power to develop this nation, then we should not encourage violence, we should not encourage any irresponsible behaviour, we are to encourage our members to behave normally, behave like human beings, behave such that this country will be together after the elections," he said.

He also urged fathers to take an active role in guiding their children and preventing them from being misled into violence during the December elections, promoting a message of peace and unity.

At a Father's Day event in Jachie in the Ashanti region, the Minister highlighted the crucial role fathers play in guiding their children and maintaining peace during the election period.
