The Forum condemns in the strongest terms entities and persons responsible for reported violent acts associated with the ongoing biometric voter registration. In stating our disquiet, we are inclined to question why the National Peace Council (NPC) has been silent in the face of reported acts of violence in various parts of the Country associated with the ongoing biometric voter registration. The FGJ calls on the National Peace Council to live up to its core responsibilities. We also call on the security agencies to protect the integrity of the process as well as the right of every citizen to register and vote as noted in Article 42 of the 1992 Constitution. FGJ reminds political activists that without peace they will not have anyone to lead nor a platform to exercise political power. We need peace now, we need peace during, and we need peace after the December poll. The FGJ believes that all peace loving Ghanaians and especially the National Peace Council must act now.
