Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is warning the young people not to allow themselves to be exploited as vehicles for violence during elections.
This is before to the anticipated December 7, 2024, presidential and legislative elections in the nation.
Ghana’s general elections have been tainted over time by violent altercations between rival factions, which are typically carried out by the country’s younger population. This has affected the political stability of the nation and caused property damage and fatalities.
However, as the nation gets ready for the elections on December 7, the Vice President has tasked Ghanaians with maintaining harmony and tolerance for one another in order to promote togetherness in the country’s diverse political landscape.
Speaking during the Ashanti region’s Eid prayers on Thursday, the vice president stressed the need of supporting a violent-free election.
“As we enter the campaign season for the elections in December, let’s all be guided by acts that will preserve and uphold the diversity of our country and its unity.
“To the youth, you are the nation’s most valuable asset and under no circumstances should you be forced into any form of electoral violence. Ghana needs you safe, active and lively to lead the nation’s charge in the promising fourth industrial revolution.
“Let’s all say no to all forms of electoral violence,” he said.
