President has encouraged Ghanaians to consolidate Ghana's democratic gains by ensuring peaceful, free, and fair elections that have cemented the country's place as an example in Africa.
The Commander-in-Chief, who lauded the country's 32-year constitutional experiment, said the 9th presidential and parliamentary elections were "an opportunity" for citizens to rededicate themselves to democracy. "My message today is a simple one.
Across the world, when people speak about Africa and democracy, the country that they refer to as the country which is the beacon of democratic governance on our continent, they talk about Ghana.
And on Saturday, we're going to get another opportunity, the ninth successive opportunity we have to demonstrate to the world that indeed we understand what democratic government is about, that every few years, the people are given the opportunity to decide who will rule and govern them in their name. "So that is going to happen again this Saturday.
