President Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians that the upcoming 2024 general elections will be peaceful and credible, drawing on the peaceful conduct observed during the just-ended Ejisu by-elections as evidence.

Speaking at the May Day event held at the Police Fitness Centre in Accra on Wednesday, May 1, the President emphasised the importance of maintaining peace and order during elections, reassuring citizens that the same peace experienced in Ejisu will extend to the national polls.

President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaian workers to actively participate in the electoral process, highlighting the crucial role they play in shaping the country's future through their votes.

He encouraged them to vote for candidates who promote social inclusivity and unity rather than those who seek to divide the nation, stressing the significance of policies that bring people together.

Assuring Ghanaians of his commitment to ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections, President Akufo-Addo pledged to utilise all available resources to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.

“Like in previous ones, Ghana will once again emerge stronger, more united, and more capable and advancing development goals. Workers as the backbone of our country have a special role to play in shaping our elections. Your voices matter, your participation is essential," he said.

Dr Yaw Baah, the Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), emphasised the need for the Electoral Commission to ensure free, fair, and transparent elections.

In his address during the May Day celebration, Dr Baah urged the Electoral Commission to fulfill its mandate by conducting credible polls that reflect the will of the Ghanaian people.

He called upon the Police and the judiciary to carry out their responsibilities effectively to maintain law and order and guarantee the integrity of the electoral process.

Dr Baah stressed the importance of all institutions involved in the electoral process working together to ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted in a peaceful and transparent manner.
