The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference has called for respectful and decorous approach to the political campaigns ahead of the December 7 elections this year.
In an address, the Bishops highlighted the necessity of preserving peace and avoiding divisive rhetoric that could threaten Ghana’s democratic integrity.
“We feel compelled to address all stakeholders involved in this all-important democratic exercise to emphasise our collective responsibility in ensuring a peaceful, transparent, and fair electoral process,” said Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
As Ghana enters this pivotal phase in its democratic journey, the Bishops urged all sectors to contribute with integrity and commitment.
“As we approach this critical period in our nation’s democratic journey, it is essential for every sector to play its role with integrity and dedication,” they stated.
The Bishops specifically called on political parties to adhere strictly to electoral laws and conduct their campaigns with respect for democratic values and individual dignity.
“We urge all political parties to conduct their ongoing campaigns with respect for democratic values and the dignity of all individuals,” the statement emphasised.
They further stressed the need for political discourse to be constructive and centreed on the common good.
“Political discourse should be rooted in constructive dialogue and a commitment to the common good. We call on all parties to avoid inflammatory rhetoric and to respect the laws governing elections and political conduct,” the Bishops added.
