The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress has once again stated that the party will not sign any peace agreement unless the recommendations from the committee investigating the 2020 electoral violence are put into effect. The NDC has declined the Peace Council’s request to sign a Peace Pact before the December elections.
The NDC’s national chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, during a campaign rally in Agormanya, Lower Manya Krobo Constituency, emphasised that the party will not commit to peace until those responsible for past electoral violence are held accountable.
“Those leaders urging us to sign the peace pact must understand that every life matters. We cannot allow people to die in pursuit of power. The lives lost during the election must not be in vain. We will not sign the peace pact if such actions cannot be held accountable as crimes.”
“We will not let wrongdoers walk free, using the peace pact as a scapegoat. We need to set an example to deter others. We will never sign a pact that allows impunity. We owe it to the victims and their families to seek justice.”
