The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), , has questioned the commitment of stakeholders to peace ahead of the 2024 election.
According to him, events and happenings during the last election in 2020 and the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence create considerable doubts about the genuineness of some of the commitments by the Nana Addo-led government.
He stressed that such pacts, though well-intentioned, could fail without concrete actions to ensure lasting peace. "There is reason to be concerned that the signing of this pact, though well-intentioned, could amount to nothing if [it is] not followed by concrete actions to guarantee peace by the stakeholders and government. "It is all well and good for us to commit to peace and recite beautiful platitudes.
However, all efforts to build peace before, during, and after the 2024 elections would be futile if mistrust and insincerity persist.
