As Ghanaians prepare to vote in tomorrow’s elections, the National Peace Council (NPC) has called on citizens to work together to ensure a peaceful process.

In a video address released today, the NPC appealed to voters, political parties, electoral officials, and security agencies to uphold Ghana’s reputation as a model of peace in Africa. The Council emphasized the importance of unity, tolerance, and vigilance, warning against actions that could undermine the country’s stability.

Janet Sarney-Kuma, Director of Capacity Development & Outreach, expressed concern over growing political polarization, noting that people from different political parties often struggle to agree or show tolerance.

Alexander Koomson, Deputy Director of Research, Monitoring & Evaluation, cautioned against the political exploitation of ethnic and communal tensions, labeling some political figures as “conflict entrepreneurs” who exacerbate divisions for electoral advantage. He warned that such actions could threaten national cohesion.

Fouzia Issifu, Assistant Programme Manager at the Upper East Regional Peace Council, addressed the role of youth, urging young voters to reject political manipulation and avoid involvement in violence. “Let’s vote peacefully and return home. One people, one Ghana, peace and love,” she said.

The NPC’s peacebuilding efforts, which are particularly visible during elections, are part of its broader mission to foster unity across Ghana’s 16 regions. With polling day approaching, the Council expressed confidence in a transparent and peaceful election, urging all citizens to reject divisive rhetoric and prioritize the nation’s well-being.
