Ghana Needs Transparent Elections – Prof Opoku Agyemang | Politics

In seeking to protect national peace for development, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, vice president candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has highlighted the need for optimal transparency in the processes related to the pending December elections.

It is convinced that the integrity of elections can only be protected through transparent and fair electoral processes.

The vice presidential candidate made the observation when she visited Osabarima Kofi Boateng, head of Akwatia in the eastern region, as part of her campaign tour of the area.
He urged all interested parties to help ensure a peaceful election.

“We all need the electoral process and the elections to be organized in a very transparent way to ensure that the will of the people is fulfilled,” he said.

Among other things that could affect the integrity of the election, he was concerned about the growing culture of vote buying and urged the electorate to guard against the practice.

“When they offer you money for your vote, ask them how much money they can give you to buy infrastructure for your community,” he urged the electorate.

On NDC’s development plans for Akwatia, Professor Opoku-Agyemang said that the next NDC administration will continue with its road network, water supply, education and market infrastructure projects for the benefit of the area.

She commented to area bosses and individuals for their continued support of the NDC, and assured them of more significant progress under the upcoming John Mahama administration.

Osabarima Kofi Boateng, for his part, called for tolerance and urged Ghanaians to desist from actions that endanger the unity and peace of the country.

“May your statements be filled with love and eliminate pride and arrogance,” he admonished the politicians.
