Some ten flagbearers who contested in the just-ended presidential and parliamentary elections have said they will hold a meeting with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the presidential candidate of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Dramani Mahama, over the post-election stalemate and the threat it poses to the peace of the country.
The purpose of the meeting will be to urge the two to ensure the country remains peaceful.
The meeting follows numerous protests staged by supporters of the NDC across the country to drum home their rejection of the results, which they insist are “flawed”.
The ten presidential candidates are from nine political parties with the tenth being an independent candidate, Mr Mr Asiedu Walker.
