By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Players of the senior national team, the Black Stars led by Mohammed Kudus, have joined calls for a peaceful general election on December 7.
The democratic exercise will see Ghanaians cast their votes to elect the next President and Members of Parliament.
In this critical moment, key national team players, including West Ham star Kudus, Gideon Mensah, Razak Simpson, Isaac Afful, and Kingsley Schindler, have urged citizens to avoid violence and embrace unity.
“I’m here to urge for a peaceful election,” Kudus stated. “We are all one in the country before and after elections. I wish you all well and have peaceful elections,” he added.
Gideon Mensah also emphasized the significance of elections in fostering democracy. “The election presents the citizens the opportunity to shape the country as they want it. I urge everybody to exercise patience and peace and also value each and everyone’s opinion, and let’s keep going.”
The Black Stars will return to action in March 2025, continuing their campaign in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, their messages of peace serve as a timely reminder of the importance of unity and collaboration during the election period.
