The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress has reiterated the party’s unwillingness to sign any peace pact if recommendations from the committee set up to investigate the 2020 electoral violence are not implemented.
The NDC has rejected appeals by the Peace Council to sign a Peace Pact ahead of the December elections.
National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, during a campaign rally in Agormanya, Lower Manya Krobo Constituency, emphasised that the NDC 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. If such actions cannot be held accountable as crimes, we will not sign the peace pact.”
“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.”
