The National Peace Council is set to meet all political parties and presidential candidates contesting the December 7 elections to sign a peace pact. This aims at ensuring a smooth and peaceful electoral process.
The agreement will require candidates to commit to maintaining peace before, during, and after the polls.
Despite the Peace Council’s readiness to undertake this execrcise, there is uncertainty about the participation of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In August this year, the party led by its Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, stated that the NDC was not ready to partake in the signing of the peace pact.
The party had outlined some six conditions for its involvement, including the requirement for the President, the Inspector-General of Police, the Chief Justice, the National Security Coordinator, and the Attorney General to also sign the agreement.
