The World Peace Volunteers (WPV) has applauded the Electoral Commission (EC) for the peaceful and successful outcome of the Special Voting on Tuesday 1st December, 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the President of WPV, Mr. Seth Osei Acheampong, the outcome of the Special Voting is in an indication that the December 7 general elections will be one of the most peaceful, credible and transparent elections in the history of Ghana.
In a statement issued to the Press in Accra, Mr. Osei Acheapong said “the EC has demonstrated its ability to conduct credible polls that will meet the high standards and expectations of Ghanaians in the up-coming general elections”.
Mr. Osei Acheampong therefore called on all Ghanaians, especially the political players to support the EC and give them the needed backing and cooperation to carry out the remaining processes for a successful polls on 7th December just as it has started with the Special Voting.
The President of WPV who saluted the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Jean Mensa for her confidence and professionalism in spite of the initial challenges, reminded all registered voters to turnout in their numbers to vote on the day of elections.
“Participating in elections is not only a constitutional right but also a civic responsibility. It is an opportunity to choose who you believe can lead and represent the citizenry. Failure to vote means you have left others to decide who should be your leaders and that denies you the moral right to criticize the persons selected for you when they go wrong”.
Mr. Osei Acheampong urged the voters to ensure they did not involve themselves in violence or any acrimonious activities before, during and after the elections.
He called on all Security agencies and other stakeholders to play their roles responsibly to ensure a peaceful election come December 7.
