According to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghanaian voters are required to prioritise peace before, during, and after the upcoming December 7 general elections.

During his campaign tour to the Weija-Gbawe constituency in the Greater Accra region on Sunday, Dr. Bawumia admonished congregants in various churches within the Constituency to strive in maintaining peace and order, stating that while elections are crucial in shaping the nation’s future, they should choose the exchange of ideas over electoral violence.

During his visit to the churches, Dr. Bawumia called on the clergy to pray for him as well as the parliamentary candidates in order to come out victorious in the elections.

During his visit to the Anyaa-Sowutuom Constituency, Dr. Bawumia was warmly received by traders and pedestrians at the Ablekuma-Pokuase intersection, where he shared his “Bold Solutions” to the crowd assuring them that if elected President, he would create employment opportunities by training a million youth in digital skills thereby reducing the rate of youth unemployment in the country.

Dr. Bawumia also engaged with local clergy, imams, chiefs, and opinion leaders at Pentecost University, where he discussed the government’s policies, including the Free SHS and free technical and vocational education training programs.

He highlighted the significance of restoring nursing and teacher training allowances and the construction of Agenda 111 hospitals.
