Rev. Degbe urges Ghanaians to ensure peaceful elections

Accra, Jan. 19, GNA - Reverend Dr. Fred Degbe, Chairman of Ghana Anti Corruption Coalition (GACC), on Thursday urged Ghanaians to unite to ensure the country remained orderly and peaceful during and after Election 2012.

"This is our country and we must endeavour to safeguard it,' he added.

Rev. Degbe made the call at the signing of an Integrity Pact, between GACC and 14 youth groups in the country, to promote peace during the elections.

It is a follow-up to workshops organises by GACC, in five Regions to promote peaceful elections through the involvement of youth groups.

He pointed out that the fact that five elections had been held successfully in the country, did not necessarily mean a sixth election would automatically be held without any incident.
