The December 7 polls will be the "real test" for Ghana’s resolve and democracy, former President Jerry John Rawlings has said.
Speaking with some queen mothers including Mamaga Noviode of Sogakope (Leader), Nana Akyembaku Mansa from the Central Region, Nana Ama Serwaa from Ashanti, Nana Akua Gyasiwaa from Eastern, Mamaga Maamele from Klikor in the Volta Region, and Abesewaahemaa Nana Afia Gyamaa Pinsan, who paid a call on him at his residence in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Rawlings issued a note of admonishment to all stakeholders to ensure that the process is free and fair in order to guarantee post-election peace.
The former President said to guarantee a result that will be acceptable to all, nobody should attempt to misbehave or to do anything fraudulent.
The former President noted that the culture of disrespect, which has engulfed our society, has compromised the country’s peace and made it vulnerable.
“When we used to exercise a culture of respect in the past there was a thick layer of peace, which could not be compromised that easily. Today that layer of peace is so thin a little provocation is all it takes to get matters out of hand,” he stated.
“We’ve been able to exercise the necessary restraint through quite a number of elections. This one is going to be a real test, and I can only appeal once again that we make it as free and fair as we possibly can in order to maintain the peace.”

I wish someone will convey my advice to Papa J. I love the man and Ilove the NDC because of him. But of late I don't take him serious, and if he leaves NDC I shall continue to prefer the party to any other one in this country. My free counsel to Papa J is that he claim too much perfection. He is human and can err. Because of his self-righteous thoughts he is now against his own party that protected and defended him against corruption allegation. Akufo Addo that he is undermining his own for him to coming to power one time stripped Rawlings off diplomatic protocal. Now he (Rawlings) is saying Akufo Addo is incorruptible. He should up from sleep and come back to NDC.
We reap what we sow, you sow a seed of disrespect and disregard for rule of law and now you turn to talk about disrespect. Please sir enough is enough. ghana abrewwooooo na wotuotuo.
God bless you Dr. Lartey. It is so amasing that no one could respond to the so called Rawlingses. Not even the NDC that he's become an albatross on their necks. Oh Gosh! Who would stand up to Rawlings? I have been saying that he Rawlings is more corrupt than all of us put together. Yet he talks about posterity? What time is posterity? We would judge you now. Rawlings you are Atayie. Julo)! You are not correct, Rawlings. Uncle Kwaku Baaku is right. You and your familt are a contradiction. right.\yY
PAPA J. EVEN ATALL IF NDC GO TO OPPOSITION NO NDC PERSON WILL JOIN OR VOTE FOR YOUR WIFE PARTY.
