The Executive Secretary of the National Peace Council, George Amoh, has indicated that the council will have to conduct a public education on its mandates. This follows the criticisms that the council has suffered following the violence that characterized the 202 elections. Following the violence, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has made a number of demands before assenting to a peace pact ahead of the December 07 elections. According to the NDC, there has been a series of violence in some elections in the country including the shooting and killing of 8 persons in Techiman South and the violence that marred the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election. The NDC says although the culprits have not been punished for their deeds despite a Committee report making recommendations from the Ayawaso West Wuogon election violence, the Peace Council which is championing the peace pact has remained silent.
