The President noted that Ghana’s democratic growth must be driven not only by regular elections, but also by deliberate reforms that reflect the aspirations of the people.
“Ghana must continuously improve its democratic architecture, not just through elections, but through deliberate reforms,” he emphasised.
He lauded the work of the National Peace Council, political actors, and civil society organisations in promoting national unity and social cohesion, and urged all Ghanaians to rise above partisanship and commit to national service.
