The Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Kathleen Addy, has advised Ghanaians to look beyond money, ethnicity, and religion in the upcoming December 7 election.
She encouraged them to vote based on the candidates' competence and policies.
In her view, such an approach would strengthen Ghana's democratic integrity and advance national development. "The criteria for that vote should not be money, should not be religion, and should not be even ethical considerations because, as a country, we should have gone past that by now.
The days of strongholds and territories should be behind us. "Voting is more than just a right; it is a civic duty, a means to shape governance and hold our leaders accountable," she said.
