PRESS RELEASE BY THE GHANA SCHOOL OF LAW SRC ON THE UPCOMING NATIONAL ELECTIONS
The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of the Ghana School of Law extends its
warm greetings to all Ghanaians as the nation approaches the upcoming national elections
scheduled for Saturday. Elections in Ghana have historically served as a testament to the
nation’s growing democratic maturity and an opportunity for the citizenry to reaffirm their
commitment to peace and national cohesion. This time will be no different.
The SRC urges all eligible voters to actively participate in the electoral process by voting.
Voting is not just a civic duty but also a powerful tool to shape the future of our dear
nation. Each ballot represents a voice in determining the leadership whose actions will
impact generations to come. Let us vote with integrity and with the collective interest of
the nation at heart.
Political affiliations may vary, but our shared identity as Ghanaians binds us together.
Elections should hence serve as a unifying force rather than a source of division. We call
on all Ghanaians to maintain peace before, during and after the elections. We appeal to
political parties, candidates, and their supporters to avoid provocative language, acts of
violence, and any behavior that could incite tensions.
As aspiring legal professionals, we believe in upholding the rule of law and justice. We
urge all stakeholders to conduct themselves in ways that uphold the credibility of the
elections. We strongly condemn all forms of electoral misconduct, including vote-buying,
intimidation, and ballot tampering. Such actions undermine the integrity of our democratic
system and erode public trust
The Electoral Commission, security agencies, and other institutions must ensure
transparency, fairness, and the protection of every voter’s rights. The media must maintain
a high level of professionalism in their reportage. Let us also use social media responsibly
and refrain from circulating unverified news that could create unnecessary panic or
confusion.
Voting is not the end of our democratic responsibilities. The SRC calls on all Ghanaians
to remain active participants in governance by holding elected officials accountable. Our
collective vigilance is crucial in ensuring that leaders fulfill their promises and prioritize
the welfare of the nation. Together, let us uphold Ghana’s reputation as a beacon of
democracy in Africa and inspire future generations to value the power of their voice and
vote.
Thank you.
Daniel Otting Awuah
(SRC President)
