In less than 24 hours from now, the Supreme Court will be delivering its
final judgement on the 2012 presidential election petition.
The petition, which was filed by the 2012 presidential candidate of the
NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo and two others, sought to challenge the validity
of President John Mahama as the winner of last year's presidential
election.
Run up to the historic judgement has been subjugated by calls for the
parties involved to accept the verdict in good faith, and the need to
maintain the country's peace.
The Police Administration has also made security arrangements to avert
any possible clash that could erupt around the court premise. For this
reason, they have warned the public to stay a 100-metre radius away from
the court premises and promised to beef up security on Thursday if the
need arises.
Aside this bold step by the police to protect our democracy, various
media houses have made strenuous efforts to sanitize the airwaves.
Leaders of both parties have also promised to respect the verdict of
the court and urged their supporters to emulate their action.
