CPP Urges Ghanaians to Promote Peaceful Elections Amidst Concerns of Violence

The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has expressed deep concerns about the current state of politics in Ghana, particularly the prevalence of violence and the dominance of two major parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Hon. Enoch Donald Sakpa, National Deputy Secretary for the CPP, emphasized the importance of free and fair elections, devoid of violence, and called for a more inclusive and peaceful political environment.

Recent Incidents of Violence

The CPP’s call for peaceful elections comes on the backdrop of recent incidents of violence in Ghana’s electoral process. In the Ablekuma North by-election, former Minister for Fisheries, Madam Mavis Hawa Koomson, was attacked by unknown assailants. This incident highlights the need for all stakeholders to promote peace and stability in the electoral process.

Call for Peaceful Elections

The CPP strongly condemned the recent incident of violence involving a woman who was beaten by a group of people. The party emphasized that violence is not a solution to political differences and called for those responsible to be brought to justice. As Ghana prepares for the upcoming Akwatia by-elections, the CPP is urging all stakeholders to promote peace and stability.

Promoting Inclusive Engagement
The party’s leadership emphasized the importance of inclusive engagement and protecting all Ghanaians, regardless of their political affiliation. They believe that Ghana’s hospitality, honesty, and love for forgiveness are essential values that should guide the country’s politics. The CPP is calling on all Ghanaians who share their vision for a more peaceful and inclusive politics to join them in promoting a culture of peace and stability.

Building a Better Future

By working together, Ghanaians can build a better future for themselves and future generations. The CPP’s approach to politics is centered around promoting peace, stability, and inclusivity.
