National Peace Council is hopeful that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will ultimately agree to endorse the peace agreement before the December elections, despite the party’s current concerns.
The NDC has outlined several demands that they believe must be met before they will consider signing the peace accord.
Asiedu Nketia, the party’s National Chairman, has voiced doubts about the effectiveness of previous peace agreements, claiming they have not fulfilled their objectives.
Nonetheless, Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, Chairman of the National Peace Council, conveyed optimism in an Accra press briefing, expressing his belief that the NDC will come around to supporting the peace initiative.
“The NDC has not categorically refused to sign. They have raised some concerns, and we will meet with them to discuss these issues and work towards resolving them.
“I don’t think this is something we need to be overly concerned about. Our doors are always open. We engage with the parties, we listen to them, and we seek solutions to address their grievances.
“Those within our capacity, we will address. Some matters may be beyond our control, but we remain hopeful that they will sign the pact,” he said.
