Dec 7 Election Dr Nyaho Tamakloe Addresses All Election Stakeholders

A Member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has urged Ghana’s Electoral Commission and all major stakeholders to prioritise and protect Ghana’s peaceful democratic process.

According to revered statesman, the peace of the country must be jealously protected ahead of the upcoming December 7, 2024 keenly contested Presidential and parliamentary elections.

Addressing the Electoral Commission, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe called on the EC Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa to fulfill her full responsibility in ensuring that there is an absolute peaceful electoral process.

He added that the EC must ensure that the electoral process is carried out with integrity void of bias.

“To the Electoral Commission of Ghana and its leadership, particularly Madam Jean Mensa, I issue this clarion call: history stands as a testament to the crucial role of the Electoral Commission in maintaining the sanctity of our democracy.

"You are not the first to hold this esteemed office, and you will not be the last. The legacy of this institution has always been one of fairness, transparency, and impartiality.

"I urge you to ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted with utmost integrity and without any perception or trace of bias. Let us remember that the trust of the people is the cornerstone of democratic governance,” he admonished the Chairperson of the EC, Madam Jean Mensa.

He further called on the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo to exhibit the same commitment to peace and stability ahead of the crucial elections.

Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said, “You must now demonstrate that same commitment to peace and fairness, ensuring that the Electoral Commission and all state institutions act in ways that uphold the trust and confidence of the citizenry.”

To the clergy, the Muslim clerics and Council of State, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said, "I test you to rise above the silence that has too often defined your stance in moments of national crisis."

"Your voices, revered and respected across the land, must echo the call for peace and accountability. Your influence should not be wielded in favour of political interests, but in the interest of the nation’s stability and progress.

"The consequences of electoral malpractice, whether through manipulation or complacency, are dire. A nation built on the blood, sweat, and tears of its forebears must not be brought to ruin by the greed or incompetence of a few. Ghana is greater than any individual or political party. We must prioritize the survival of our democracy over the ambitions of any group or leader.”Kobina Darlington/
