The Agona Duakwahene and Krontihene of Nyakrom Traditional Area believes peace and unity are “fundamental tools for development that rises above borders, communities, and nations.”

His call for peace and unity has become crucial for the development of Ghana as the country prepares for the 2024 general election.

“As we approach the 2024 elections, it is crucial to reflect on how we can ensure that our democratic process fosters not only fair representation but also peace and unity.

“Unity is not merely a word; it is a powerful force that brings people together for a common purpose. Peace creates a stable environment where development can flourish.

“It eliminates the fear and uncertainty that often accompany conflict. When peace prevails, individuals and communities can focus on growth, education, and economic advancement without the distraction of discord,” Nana Kojo Amuakwa V emphasised.

He made the appeal at a Grand Durbar during the celebration of Akwambo Festival over the weekend, which was heavily attended by the people of Duakwa and Chiefs from near and far.

The event did not lack the political jamboree of the two leading parliamentary candidates from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who were in attendance with their supporters.
