Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has called on Ghanaians to maintain peace and decorum during electoral processes, cautioning that political passion must never lead to violence.

Her comments were made in a post on X on Saturday, July 12, 2025, following the parliamentary rerun in the Ablekuma North Constituency.

“I congratulate Ewurabena Aubynn for the decisive victory she earned yesterday at Ablekuma North. I salute her courage and sense of focus,” the Vice President stated.
