Akim Oda (E/R), Nov. 22, GNA – The Birim Central Municipal office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has entreated Ghanaians to embrace the existing democratic dispensation with utmost respect.
Madam Rejoice Biscoff, the Birim Central Municipal Director of NCCE, said democracy ensured that government decision-making was more inclusive, diverse and accountable because it invited more representative groups of people.
She was speaking at an inter-faith engagement with churches and mosques at Akim Oda in the Eastern Region.
She noted that democracy created room for regular periodic elections for change of government and every eligible voted needed to exercise their franchise when the date was due on December 7, 2024.
Mr. Eric Antwi, Civic Education Officer at the Birim Central Municipal NCCE, encouraged political party members to exhibit decency in their campaign which was the basic minimum standard of behaviour that fostered peace and stability.
He urged the eligible voters to make a well-informed decision in voting that would positively affect the collective well-being of Ghanaians.
The churches visited included Presbyterian Church Community six branch, The Methodist Church Community Six Branch, Rush Hour Faith Ministry, Mount Zion Prayer Ministry, Jesus Winner Man Prayer Ministries, and United Pentecostal International Church.
The NCCE during the inter-faith engagement was accompanied by the Inter-Party Dialogue Committee (IPDC).
