As Ghanaians prepare to go to the polls in December, 2008, I add my voice to the call for peace before, during and after the elections. We can send a very clear message to the world that we have fully embraced democracy both as a polical system and as a way of life. We need peace to advance our beloved nation to 1st world status in our lifetime. TOGETHER, WE CAN!
I shall not allow myself to be used by any selfish politician to disrupt the peace we enjoy today. I urge you to do the same.
Please add your vote and increment the count.
Vote # 1: SAMUEL BOATENG ASUMADU

YES WE CAN!!! I agree to what you are saying Samuel we all need peace as a country to thrive.People should not be deceived by politians to go and cause mayhem in thier localities this will not augur well for our development as a nation that is seeking to attain the Millennium Development Goals by the year 2015.But before peace prevails there should be justice for all citizes irrespective of their political affiliation,If someone should break the law, the law must work to its fullest.For Justice delayed is Justice denied.The law must not favour only the Strong and the mighty in the soceity but also the weak and the vulnerable, for Justice denied is a Threat to Peace.

In adding my voice to this campaign for peaceful elections, I also wonder what more we can do to make other Ghanaian youth not to be used by self seeking politicians to pursue their selfish objectives. You and I are not ready to go and fight other people because we support a particular candidate. But for every one of us who stand for peace, there is another person or two other people who are ready to do anything for politicians for a few Ghana cedis. So what can we do about these people? I'm vote #3, but how many votes are on the other side?

I'm vote #4.
I think people are talking and dealing with the elections quietly. Some are tired of all of the corruption so are going to try new parties, some are die-hard party funs so will vote for the party no matter what (even if they have to cause trouble like Diamond said), some are just playing their cards right so that they can benefit some how, and so on.
Hopefully, the election atmosphere will remain as calm as I see it. I mean we should proud to support a party but should vote for the 'proper' people who will help steer this nation to prosperity. I believe this can be done peacefully and sensibly. I pray that things go smoothly and we continue to live in harmony.

Actually, many more people are willing to try out new candidates and the die hard party fans are fast becoming extinct. I am happy to see that Ghanaians are not being too conservative for their own good and looking at the issues instead of following blindly. I believe that if we keep up this attitude of being objective and being bold enough to educate one another, our collective effort as a people would lead to a peaceful election. I think that the young people of Ghana would be most instrumental in fascilitating this election if we no longer focus too much on past issues (for they are many) and look for the best solutions for the future.

I totally agree with monika with regards to the youth being instrumental in facilitating this election. I believe that we the youth are looking for the best solutions for the future and so will vote wisely this weekend.

Hurray!
Ghanaians have proved our maturity once again. Our elections have been very peaceful, free, fair and transparent.
Let us continue in this good attitude as we go for the 2nd round. Bravo to all who contributed to this beautiful national exercise. Kudos to the members of the media and the Electoral Commission especially.
Three cheers for Ghana.

Ghanaians are truly exhibiting their maturity as they made peace reign before, during and after the elections. We shall continue to remain peaceful as we prepare for the second round of elections. Whoever is elected as president should be accepted since the majority of voters elected him president for his problem-solving attributes.

Just wanted to congratulate the entire nation for showing their maturity before, during and after the elections. It has been almost a month after the inauguration and peace is still reigning. Kudos to everyone who ensured that all went well.
