The Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Seth Kwame Acheampong, has called on religious and traditional leaders to promote peace as the country approaches the upcoming general elections.
He said opinion leaders were crucial stakeholders in ensuring peace and stability of the country.
Mr Acheampong, who is also Chairman of the Eastern Regional Security Council (RESEC), made the appeal at a meeting with Christian religious leaders, Muslim clerics, and traditional authorities, in Akim Oda, last Friday.
The meeting followed RESEC's tour of the region's 33 municipalities and districts, aimed at engaging stakeholders on ways to maintain peace before, during and after the elections.
