The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has called on the Electoral Commission to ensure a free, fair and credible elections.
She says it is easy to maintain peace when the electoral process is open and transparent, and credible elections are held.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang made the call when she addressed a durbar of the chiefs and people of Axim in the Western Region as part of this this year’s Kundum festival.
She said leaders must strive to preach peace and development at all times.
“I wish that the chiefs and people of Axim will continue to ensure peace and tolerate each other’s views, especially in this year as we prepare to elect committed and deserving people in the coming presidential and parliamentary elections in December”, Prof. OpokuAgyemang said.
She was hopeful that Ghanaians will elect leaders who are committed to serving the interest of the people in the December elections.
“In this election, we must strive to elect persons who exhibit the true characteristic of servant leaders and I am confident that the chiefs and people of Axim will vote to retain the current Member of Parliament, Hon. Kofi Arkoe Nokoe, in December 2024”, she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang noted that the NDC government during its time in office initiated some key projects in the Axim area. Notable among them, she said, are the Axim Sea Defense Project, the asphalting of Axim town roads in 2015, the building of a new Municipal Fire Service office accommodation, the new Axim Divisional Polic Command Office block and the initiation of a mini harbour which has been changed into a landing beach .
“Nananom, I want to assure you that the NDC will ensure that this project is reversed to its initial plan”, she added.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang further said the NDC also ensured the establishment of the Axim Girls Senior High School, which through the efforts of Awulae Attibrukusu III, was brought to the limelight.
