Ghana\u2019s economy is rebounding, President\u00a0Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u00a0has said in a national address to mark 31 years of the fourth republican journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have, happily, turned the corner on our economic situation as we experience the rebound of the national economy, and we will continue to work strongly at the problems facing the nation, knowing that the solution, every four years, rests, in part, on the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people, when you exercise your power to choose freely your leaders to manage the affairs of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that democracies are \u201cgrounded on viable elections, and, this year, like we have done on eight other preceding occasions, we will go to the polls to elect the President and my successor\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo true democrat can disregard the importance of elections and the sanctity of the ballot,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt must, thus, be in our collective interest to ensure that the rules and regulations for the conduct of this year\u2019s elections are fair and transparent and that we all develop respect for them, a respect that should not be a function of whether you win or lose.\u201d<\/p>\n
The prsaident said: \u201cAll stakeholders, that is the Electoral Commission, the political parties and their leaders, the electorate, and citizenry, should work to assure the consolidation of Ghanaian democracy and help us maintain our pride of place on the continent as a model of democracy in Africa\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of it all, there should be no lingering doubt about the legitimacy of the election, and the winning candidates, on the conclusion of the process, should receive the unalloyed support of all. That is how we can strengthen our democracy and the peace and stability of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he has contributed his personal quota to Ghana\u2019s constitutional dispensation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have spent my adult life fighting for our individual and collective rights, and it is, therefore, gratifying to note that the nation\u2019s adherence to democracy has not waned.\u201d<\/p>\n
He, however, said the challenges confronting the country can not be overcome overnight.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that there are no quick fixes to the challenges confronting us, and, as we have seen in recent times, democratic structures of governance are capable of accommodating the most difficult of circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
