Former Nigerian President, Mr Goodluck Jonathan, has urged Ghanaians to ensure a peaceful and credible electoral process.

He said that the success of any election depended on the commit­ment of citizens, election authori­ties, and security agencies.

Speaking at the Third Strategy Forum of the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) in Accra, he stated the importance of transparency and trust during elections, noting that poorly managed elections were often the root cause of conflicts in Africa.

Mr Jonathan, who serves as Chairman of WAEF, called on cit­izens to play a role in maintaining electoral integrity. "For elections in any country to be successful, all citizens of that country must be committed to a very, very successful elections, ev­erybody must be ready to do what is fair," he emphasised.
