Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called on Ghanaians to actively participate in the upcoming elections, emphasising the importance of advocating for critical issues such as education, employment, healthcare, and the environment.
He urged citizens to engage actively in the electoral process, highlighting that elections are not just about choosing leaders but also about determining the direction of the country.
Speaking at the 2024 Fetu Afahye celebration in Cape Coast on Saturday, the Vice President noted that "Elections are a cornerstone of our democracy, a time when we exercise our right to choose our leaders and shape the future of our nation.
It is a privilege that should never be taken for granted." "It is your opportunity to advocate for the issues that matter to your education, employment, healthcare, and the environment.
Do not allow others to decide your future for you; it is in your hands.
Take charge." He also called for peace, tolerance, and respect during the electoral period, urging Ghanaians to reject violence and divisive rhetoric. "Let us engage in constructive dialogue and celebrate our differences as a source of strength," Bawumia implored.
