President John Dramani Mahama has said there will be no violence during and after the general elections as Government has mapped out the appropriate strategies to ensure peace.
The President said this on Sunday, when he met with the Bolgatanga Traditional Council, as part of his campaign tour to the region.
He urged the electorate not to entertain any fear and come out in their numbers on the Election Day to exercise their constitutional rights.
“Elections are for the electorate to express their will and the constitution also spells out the procedure for redress and I see no reason why there should be violence. I am a man of peace as I have declared on several platforms”.
President Mahama said stringent security measures have been put in place to deal with anybody or group of people who would seek to foment violence.
He said security taskforces have also been established in all the regions to provide security to the electorate at the polling stations during the voting day.
President Mahama appealed to the traditional rulers to join the crusade for peace by ensuring that this year’s election was conducted peacefully.
He commended the Bolgatanga Traditional Council for working hard to settle chieftaincy concerns in the region adding that government would help ensure law and order is maintained.
Later at a rally held at the Bolgatanga Jubilee Park, the President said Government would continue in its efforts to spread development across all the regions.
President Mahama said some of the projects undertaken in the Region included rural electrification projects, enhancing the road works, the establishment of the University for Development Studies, regional and district hospitals and CHPS Compounds.
The President, after introducing Mr Isaack Adongo, the Parliamentary Candidate for the Bolgatanga Central, urged the people to vote for him.
Mr Kofi Adams, Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, said the party has the chance of winning convincingly and impressed upon party executives and supporters to embark upon house to house campaigns and to ensure that they come out with all their families to vote for the NDC.

NDC WILL USE THE STATE MONEY TO BUY THE CONSCIENCE OF EC COMISSIONERS, EC OFFICIALS, POLLING AGENTS TO RIG THE ELECTION. NDC WILL LOOT THE NATION JUST TO WIN POWER. GHANAIANS SHOULD WATCH NDC CAREFULLY. THE CONSCIENCE OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED. NPP SHOULD OPEN THEIR EYES WIDE AND CHECK THE BALLOT PAPERS, PRINTING OF PINK SHEETS AND MANIPULATION OF FIGURES. NPP SHOULD BE AT THE POLLING STATIONS AND WATCH THE POLLING AGENTS CAREFULLY, FILLING OF PINK SHEETS, SENDING THE PINK SHEET TO COLLATION CENTRES AND COMPILLATION AND TALLY OF ALL THE FIGURES. NO ONE SHOULD BE TRUSTED IN THE ELECTION PROCESS

The peace begins with you and your party. How can peace come when Collins Dauda's brother who has confessed to be a murderer is still on the street? The peace is not NPP because NPP has been in office for 8 years and there were no tensions like your time. Begin the peace with you and your party and stop disturbing our ears. Hypocrite.
