First Lady urges electorates to vote peacefully on Saturday  

The First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, has urged the electorates to peacefully go and cast their ballots on December 7 and wait patiently for the declaration of the winners after that.

She was speaking with the constituents of Trobu and Okaikwei North Constituencies in the Greater Accra Region, as part of her campaigning and thank you tour within the region.

She advised all Ghanaians not to get themselves involved in any squabbles during the elections, but they should just go and cast their ballots in peace.

“Go and cast your ballot peacefully and let Ghana move to better heights,” she said.

Mrs Akufo-Addo assured the people that nothing untoward would happen on election day, adding that the police and other security agencies would be at post to ensure a smooth and peaceful election, so nobody should be afraid that something bad would happen to them once they go out to participate in the elections.

While bidding the constituents farewell as she and her husband, President Nana Akufo-Addo exited office on January 7, she also used the occasion to canvass for votes for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and all the parliamentary candidates of the NPP contesting the 2024 general elections

Interacting with party faithful, Mrs Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of continuity in developing a nation and appealed to the electorates to keep the NPP in power to continue with development initiatives that it had implemented over the years to better the lots of all citizens.

“President Akufo-Addo made many promises to you when he was seeking the mandate and he has delivered on almost all of them, but Ghana deserves a lot more and the only person to continue these good works, is Dr Mahamudu Bawumia,” she said.

The first lady spoke highly of Dr Bawumia on his intelligence and unique capabilities, which were needed in developing the country.

“Dr Bawumia understands digitalisation and technology, which are needed in our present world to solve present-day challenges and when voted into office, he has many ideas to bring on board to advance Ghana’s development,” she said.

While urging supporters to “spread the good news” to support Dr Bawumia’s win in the elections, Mrs Akufo-Addo also implored them to vote for the NPP parliamentary candidates; Gloria Owusu of the Trobu Constituency and Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei of Okaikoi North Constituency to win their respective seats.
