The National Peace Council (NPC) has identified nine out of the 23 constituencies in the Central Region as hotspots for potential unrest during the December 7 general elections.
According to the Council, Awutu-Senya-East, Effutu, Agona-West, Assin-North, Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese, Cape Coast-North, Twifo-Hemang-Lower-Denkyira, and Upper-Denkyira-West and East are some of the areas.
It also identified a total of 42 flashpoints in the Awutu Senya-East Constituency (Kasoa), which stands out as the most critical in the region known for its overall tranquillity.
The regional chairman of the council, Right Reverend Richardson Aboagye Andam, disclosed these findings during the Ghana First Youth Symposium held at the University of Cape Coast.
The event was organised by Youth Vision International, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to fostering youth empowerment, with support from the Peace Council on the theme “Putting Ghana First.”
In his speech, he disclosed that they have met with all relevant stakeholders to prevent any potential outbreak of violence before, during, and after the election.
Meanwhile, he has admonished Ghanaians to be tolerant and respect divergent opinions, which were the foundation for fostering social cohesion and preventing electoral violence during both the presidential and parliamentary elections.
