Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson has called on passionate supporters of the two political parties to exercise restraint as the country awaits elections in the Tain constituency.
His appeal comes in the wake of violent demonstration by disgruntled supporters of the two political parties.
Supporters of the New Patriotic Party on Wednesday embarked on violent demonstration in Accra and Kumasi demanding the audit of results in the Volta region or cancellation of the Tain elections.
Supporters of the National Democratic Congress also embarked on a similar crusade on Tuesday, demanding the immediate declaration of Prof. John Evans Atta Mills as president.
Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson said no amount of pressure or demonstration from any group of people could change the choice of president Ghanaians made on December 28 during the runoff elections.
“Calmness is the key,” Appiah Turkson said in an interview with Joy News’ Stephen Anti on Wednesday.
He said Ghana has forsaken the "jungle era" where laws were broken with impunity, adding the country is now governed under the rule of law.
He called on the leadership of the two political parties to show moderation in their utterances as the Tain elections is held on January 2, 2208
Cardinal Turkson said they are still meeting with all stakeholders, especially, leaders of the two political parties to chart a course for peace.
