Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Peter Mac Manu has described the decision by the largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to sign the peace agreement ahead of the 2024 general elections as shameful. To him, the refusal of the NDC to sign the document is an indication of an intent to cause trouble in the elections. "It is not for Peter Mac Manu to decide on what the NDC will do, but I will say that it is shame on their part to not sign a document that will bring peace to this country, so they are out to foment trouble," Mac Manu told TV3 during the launch of the NPP's manifesto in Takoradi on Sunday, August 18. But the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia explained that the mechanisms that will ensure peace in the elections have not been properly put in place. To that end, he said, there cannot be talks about signing a peace pact. To him, at least an effort should be made to prosecute the persons who killed innocent people in the 2020 general elections in Techiman South before any conversation about signing a peace pact ahead of the 2024 general elections is considered.
