2024 Elections will be free, fair and peaceful; I will hand over presidency to the peoples’ choice – Akufo-Addo

03 Nov

President Akufo-Addo has assured the public that the upcoming general elections on December 7, 2024 will be free, fair, transparent, and peaceful, affirming his commitment to hand over the presidency to the winner chosen by the people.

Speaking to an enthusiastic audience at the grand durbar of the Anlo Hogbetsotso Za festival on Saturday, November 11, President Akufo-Addo expressed his sincere gratitude to the chiefs and people of Anlo for their support and prayers throughout his presidency.

He reiterated his commitment to ensuring a transparent and peaceful election process, thanking Ghanaians for maintaining peace during his nearly eight-year tenure.

“As we all know, without peace, there can be no proper development,” President Akufo-Addo remarked. “The peace we are currently enjoying is the peace we will carry through to the elections on 7th December. I want to assure the people of Anlo, the people of the Volta region and the people of Ghana, that the elections, the forthcoming elections in December, are going to be free, fair, transparent, and peaceful.

“And on the 7th of December, I will hand over the baton of national leadership to whoever the people of Ghana choose on the 7th of December to succeed me,” he assured, as the durbar responded with resounding applause.

The President further explained that, as his presidency draws to a close, he is conducting a nationwide tour to personally thank Ghanaians for their support. Though he plans to return to the Volta Region specifically, he used the Hogbetsotso Za festival—his last one before leaving office—to extend a heartfelt message of appreciation.

Held in Anloga, the festival brought together dignitaries, traditional leaders, and community members to celebrate Anlo heritage and Ghana’s cultural diversity, with the Awoemefia (Overlord), Togbi Sri III, sitting in state.
