Election 2024 is just around the corner, and Ghana's political landscape is heating up.
On Sunday, December 1, Kpong in the Lower Manya Krobo Constituency of the Eastern Region witnessed another extraordinary event that has kept everyone talking.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) had scheduled campaign walks on the same day, but at different times. However, in a surprising twist, both parties started their walks at the same time and venue.
The scene was electric, with massive crowds of supporters from both parties dressed in their party colors, beating drums, singing party songs, and blowing whistles and vuvuzelas.
Despite initial concerns about potential violence, the event turned out to be a fun and entertaining "clash" of supporters. Both sides danced and teased each other in a lighthearted and peaceful manner.
The Ghana Police Service deserves commendation for their professionalism, balance, and fairness in maintaining order before, during, and after the walk. This peaceful encounter is a promising sign of a smooth and peaceful election in 2024.
The Lower Manya Krobo Constituency has historically been a stronghold for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). However, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is determined to capture the seat for the first time in the upcoming election.
While the NPP faces an uphill battle, their party parliamentary candidate, Hon. Simon Kweku Tetteh's determination to snatch the seat from the NDC's incumbent Member of Parliament, Hon. Ebenezer Oklitey Terlabi, indicates a fierce competition in the upcoming election
As Ghanaians prepare to head to the polls, it's essential to remember that despite our differences in party affiliations, we are all families, friends, colleagues, and citizens of Ghana. Our diverse views on party traditions should never divide us or lead to conflict. As the nation moves forward, let's prioritize peace, unity, and respect for one another before, during and after the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
