The Founder and President of IMANI Africa, , has called out the Peace Council of Ghana over its call for the various political parties and individuals who would be contesting in the pending December 7, 2024, election to sign a peace pact. In a post shared on Facebook on August 15, 2024, Cudjoe said that before asking stakeholders in the upcoming election to commit to peace, the Peace Council must first address some of the violence that was seen during the 2020 election. He added that the council must call out people who are causing tension with comments they are making about the upcoming election before they can call for a peace pact.
"We have started this peace business again. I expected the Peace Council to call out the President and his government for doing nothing about the deliberate killing of seven innocent Ghanaians by the security forces in the last election. Not even an apology has been rendered, let alone punishment meted out to the culprits.
"Some political junkies have started stoking violence through intemperate speech.
