The Former President of Ni­geria, Mr Good­luck Jonathan, has commended security per­sonnels for the robust security arrangements around Ghana's general election.

According to him, the securi­ty personnels in the country had indeed proved that "Ghana was peaceful country" in terms of their electoral process and the need to maintain that reputation on the African continent.

Mr Jonathan gave the re­marks in Accra on Saturday at a press conference, organised by the National Election Security Task Force (NESTF), to discuss the outcome of maintaining peace, before during and after the elections. "I'm quite impressed with the security arrangement and what they are doing,"he said.

Mr Jonathan stressed that successful elections relied heavily on the collaboration of key insti­tutions, namely electoral manage­ment bodies, security services, and the judiciary.
