The President enjoined the citizenry to conduct themselves 'in such a manner that we have a free, fair and transparent election that will enable the Ghanaian people to choose in peace and serenity, the person and persons who will manage the affairs on their behalf for the next years.' 'I am confident that yet again, Ghanaians will rise to the occasion and reinforce the status of Ghana as a bastion of democracy on the African continent,' he noted. Source: Ghana News Agency
