"No Armagedon on December 7", is how the Daily Graphic titles its editorial. The paper says as the December polls draw closer, the atmosphere continues to be poisoned day in and day out by politicians who are seeking the mandate to govern. According to the Graphic, the tension is further aggravated by the constant claim by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that the ruling Party is planning to rig the up-coming elections. The paper re-echoes the words of the National Security Coordinator, Dr. Sam Amoo, that the elections would lead to a consolidation of our democratic governance and serve as a model for the rest of the countries in the sub-region, some of which have experienced violence and civil wars. The paper urges all Ghanaians not to see the elections as a war but just a regular contest for the leadership of the country and have absolute faith that they will be conducted in peaceful manner.
