The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has suggested that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should not attend security meetings if they are unwilling to sign the peace pact.
Kodua pointed out that participating in these meetings is futile if the NDC is not committed to peace.
He expressed his frustration during an interview on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show.
He highlighted that while the NDC engages in meetings organized by the Peace Council, IPAC, and the Electoral Commission, they refuse to sign the peace pact, questioning the purpose of their involvement in such discussions.
“In all the meetings that we attend, the most crucial aspect that will foster peace, you are refusing to sign. Then why do you attend those meetings? That is our concern as the New Patriotic Party,” Justin lamented.
This statement comes in response to the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, who declared that the party would not sign the peace pact for the upcoming general elections.
Kodua criticized the NDC’s refusal, recalling that in previous elections, the NDC signed peace pacts even when they disagreed with the outcomes, in the interest of national peace.
He assured Ghanaians that the NPP is committed to a peaceful election and called on the Security Council to implement stringent security measures before and during the December 7 polls. Additionally, he urged that strict actions be taken against anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, who seeks to disrupt Ghana’s democratic process and peace.
