Former President John Dramani on Friday, December 4 in a show of respect bowed to President Akufo-Addo when the two met at the 2020 Peace Pact ceremony held at the Movenpick Hotel, Accra.
The two reiterated the desire to ensure peaceful polls and their commitment to realise it.
President Akufo-Addo during the event noted “I have said that we believe in elections, and I am happy to give my word that we shall accept the verdict of the people of Ghana. Above all, I pledge that the peace, unity and safety of Ghana will be our primary consideration,” the President said.
On Mahama’s part he said “The military siege of the Volta Region and other locations during the registration exercise created an intimidatory atmosphere akin to a nation at war. But we are optimistic. In the face of similar doubts in the past, Ghanaians have risen to the occasion and delivered peaceful elections.
“It is my prayer that despite our deepest fears we shall be proved wrong and Ghana will once again be proven to be the beacon of democracy in Africa.”
