A former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Peter Mac Manu, has criticised the decision of the not to sign the peace agreement ahead of the 2024 elections. Mac Manu told 3news.com in a recent interview that the NDC's decision not to sign the document indicates an intent to cause trouble during 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," he stated. The National Chairman of the opposition , Johnson , on August 15, 2024, declared that the party will not be signing any peace declaration as the country approaches the December elections. "Signing a peace declaration doesn't mean anything to the party, as previous pacts have not yielded any real results. If you allow violence to brew, it will happen whether you sign a declaration or not. That's why, more than a year ago, I started talking about the need to remove the building blocks for a violent election. "Otherwise, if you let these issues build up and then say, let's play a peace football match, sign a declaration, and hope for a peaceful election,' it won't work.
