President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reiterated his assurance to the international community that the upcoming 2024 general elections in Ghana will be free, fair, and transparent.
He said that Ghanaians will not permit the democracy of the country to be undermined.
Speaking at the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed Ghana's unwavering commitment to democracy and underscored the country's reputation as a beacon of democratic governance in Africa. "As my presidency draws to a close, I want to assure this Assembly that the upcoming 2024 elections in Ghana will be free, fair, and transparent," President Akufo-Addo said. "Ghanaians have demonstrated time and time again, in the last three decades, their strong attachment to democracy, which they will not permit to be undermined." Ghana's democratic credentials have long been held in high regard, with the country consistently ranking as one of Africa's most stable and peaceful democracies.
Since transitioning to multi-party democracy in 1992, Ghana has held eight successive peaceful elections, with power changing hands between political parties on multiple occasions.
