He warned the youth of Ghana not to allow themselves to be influenced by the politicians to create chaos
Speaking at a forum in Accra on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, Mr. Dapaah advised that a robust electoral system be built for all gain trust in it, so that election results from its outfit would be accepted by all.
“We may for the first time experience a situation where none of the major political parties will be willing to explore the courts to address their grievances.
“Indeed I have heard some senior people in the political space saying that, they have lost faith in the courts’ ability to address their concerns when it comes to elections. So this can create a situation that can set the stage for chaos.”
“And it underscores the need for us to build a robust and transparent electoral system where results coming from same will be acceptable by all parties.”
The Minister further urged citizens to prioritise peace in the upcoming polls.
“Ghanaians must also be aware of their responsibilities. They must not allow themselves to be used by politicians who lose elections. Peace is very expensive and sometimes we have to make sacrifices one time or the other to maintain it. So may nobody participate in violence. So those who lose, accept it peacefully,” he noted.
