Calling for a peaceful election in Ghana is crucial for the country’s democracy and stability. As Ghana prepares for its presidential and parliamentary elections, it’s essential to promote a culture of peace and tolerance among citizens, political parties, and stakeholders. The United Nations in Ghana has launched the “I Pledge for Peace Campaign” to encourage citizens to commit to peaceful elections ¹. This initiative aims to promote a peaceful and inclusive electoral process, ensuring that every citizen can exercise their right to vote without fear of violence or intimidation. To achieve peaceful elections, it’s vital to address the root causes of electoral violence, such as poverty, youth unemployment, and manipulation by politicians. By engaging youth in the electoral process and promoting their role as peace ambassadors, Ghana can reduce the risk of electoral violence. Key stakeholders, including the Electoral Commission, political parties, civil society organizations, and traditional leaders, must work together to ensure a peaceful and credible electoral process. Let’s join forces to promote peace and stability in Ghana’s upcoming elections. Remember, every citizen has a role to play in ensuring peaceful elections. #ipledgeforpeacegh #votewisely #ghanadecides #ghanaelections #election #electorialcommision #ndc #npp #ghanapolice #istandforpeace The NSS Amorin Thomas Party NSS Scandal #NDCFinalRally Ghost Cheddar #Project24TierRepChallenge Henry Fitz #FormicaFinishingSchool Serwaa Amihere

South Africa and the United States both have the most consequential elections in their political history in 2024. For example, in South Africa, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) may, for the first time since 1994, fail to win over 50% of the votes and this would force a coalition of parties to form a government in South Africa which the ANC may not even be involved in. In the US, the November elections could go either way between the ruling Democrat Party and opposition Republican Party with the race too close to call between the presidential candidates of both parties. Either way, unless the ruling parties win the elections in South Africa and the US, any other outcome on either side would have serious consequence for relations between countries for the next 4 years. This moderated conversation between experienced both election analysts with inputs from the audience will shed light on the consequential nature of these elections for both countries and Africa broadly.

#VantageOnFirstpost Will South Africa's Opposition Manage to Topple the ANC? | Vantage with Palki Sharma South Africa is holding its general election today. Almost 28 million registered voters will decide the country's fate. These are the most competitive elections in South Africa in 30 years. Since 1994, South Africa has been ruled by the African National Congress Party. Under Nelson Mandela, the ANC managed to bring an end to Apartheid, so the party has been rewarded with electoral wins ever since. But today, South Africa has the worst unemployment rate in the world and crime is on the rise. Will young voters continue to support the ANC, or will they opt for one of the opposition parties for economic growth? --- South Africa | South Africa Elections | Elections | Cyril Ramaphosa | ANC | African National Congress | Jacob Zuma | Nelson Mandela | Firstpost | World News | Vantage | Palki Sharma #southafrica #southafricaelections #elections2024 #cyrilramaphosa #africannationalcongress #jacobzuma #nelsonmandela #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews
