Former President Kufuor urges EC to be independent 

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has called on the Electoral Commission, EC, to be truly independent in the discharge of its mandate as a referee in the November 7 polls.   

Officials of the Commission, he said, should be guided by truth, patriotism and the fear of God, to ensure a peaceful election, bearing in mind that they are citizens as well as employees, accountable to the country. 

Former President Kufuor said this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency when a Canada-based non-profit charity organization, the ‘On Guard for Humanity’ of which the John Agyekum Kufuor Foundation is an honorary member, donated 500 boxes of packaged water to the inmates of the Egyeikrom Refugees Camp in the Central Region. 

Former President Kufuor urged the government to abide by laid down rules to foster peace in the country.

He appealed to Ghanaians to be calm and exercise their franchise peacefully.
