A 6.4-kilometre peace walk was held in Accra on Saturday to herald the 79th United Nations (UN) Day celebration in Ghana and press home the need for peaceful elections.
The event, which lasted about 1 hour and 20 minutes, began at 6:40 AM with participants drawn from the UN community in Ghana, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration (MFARI), personnel from the security services and allied agencies.
They walked from the forecourt of the State House, passed by the Ridge Hospital, Holy Spirit Cathedral intersection, AT head office and Atta Mills High Street, before returning to the starting point via the Accra Sports Stadium.
Along the way, they handed out flyers with peace messages to the public to remind them to help maintain peace as the country heads to the December polls in less than 50 days.
