peace during run-off elections – Mahama
Gambaga (NR), Dec. 25, Ghanadot/GNA – Mr.

for the country to be violence free so that Ghana’s
democracy could go higher.”

Nanton, Gambaga, Nalerigu and their surrounding villages
asked the people to obey the electoral laws of the country
by not doing anything to mar the elections.

without which there can be no development it is necessary
all officials engaged in the electoral process will rise up
to the occasion so that Ghana has a free and fair

“It is those who would attempt to cheat in the electoral
process that will be doing irreparable harm to the country,”
he said.

in the area should be eradicated and development brought
there as the NDC has in its manifesto.
