Ghanaian Afro-pop, Dancehall/Reggae artiste, Stonebwoy has organised a peace walk in Ashaiman as part of a campaign to promote peace and unity before, during, and after the 2020 general elections.
The peace walk attracted fans of Stonebwoy from different genres. They were dressed in white T-shirts and displayed placards with various peace messages.
He said peace messages needed to be drummed into Ghanaians across the regions.
He therefore, called on all Ghanaians to spread the message of peace, hope, and unity before, and after the December 7 polls.
The peace walk would be climaxed with a musical concert and musicians on the bill are King Promise, Fancy Gadam, Fameye, and Macassio. The rest are Efya, Teephlow, Darkovibe, and Bethel Revival choir.
In recent times, Ghanaian Gospel music living legend, Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo teamed up with other top acts to preach peace ahead of the December 7 general elections in Ghana.
In the star-studded song, while imploring citizens to exercise their franchise in the forthcoming elections, the A-list stars also cautioned Ghanaians against violence which can destabilize the development of the country. With love and understanding, they believe Ghana can wear its good cloth.
Ghana has good reason to celebrate peace, with eight elections and several peaceful transitions of power since military dictatorship ended two decades ago, making it one of few countries in west Africa to hold elections without violence or the threat of civil war.
During Ghana’s 7th December general election will be the country’s eighth consecutive poll since returning to democracy nearly 30 years ago.
Citizens will elect a president and 275 members of parliament.
Although 12 candidates are vying for the presidency, the contest is mainly between the incumbent Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and his predecessor John Dramani Mahama of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
