The ECOWAS Resident Representative, Ambassador Baba Gana Wakil, has urged Ghanaians to maintain their reputation as one of the best countries in West Africa in terms of conducting peaceful elections.
He made this remark during an event held in commemoration of ECOWAS Day, themed, “ECOWAS Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow,”.
Ambassador Baba Gana Wakil further highlighted the need to ensure peace in the upcoming December election and its benefit to Ghanaians.
“Ghana remains a reference point and an inspiration to other member states because of the series of peaceful elections that have been taking place here.
“I think we are now going into the ninth general election successfully. Yes of course, there are always hiccups here and there but generally speaking, Ghana remains a reference point in conducting peaceful elections. And we hope that this time around too, they will maintain that reputation.
“The reputation is already well established. We want to make sure that Ghana maintains this reputation to continue to serve as an inspiration to its neighbours, especially in the sub-region,” he said.
