The National Peace Council remains hopeful that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will sign the peace pact before the December elections, despite the party’s reservations.
The NDC has set forth specific conditions that must be addressed before agreeing to the peace pact.
The party’s National Chairman, Asiedu Nketia, has voiced scepticism about the efficacy of previous peace agreements, arguing that they still need to achieve their intended outcomes.
Speaking to journalists in Accra, Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, Chairman of the National Peace Council, expressed optimism that the NDC will eventually agree to the pact.
“The NDC has not categorically refused to sign,” Dr Adu-Gyamfi said. “They have raised some concerns, and we plan to meet with them to discuss and address these issues.”
Dr. Adu-Gyamfi emphasized that the Peace Council remains open to dialogue and is committed to working with all parties to resolve grievances. “We are always available for discussions,” he noted.
“We listen to the parties, engage with them, and seek solutions to their concerns. While some issues may be beyond our control, we hope the NDC will ultimately sign the pact.”
