Ghanaian Vice President calls on African nations to practice democracy
(MENAFN) Ghanaian Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has urged African nations to embrace democracy in ways that drive meaningful transformation and deliver tangible benefits to their citizens, according to reports.
Speaking at the opening of the three-day African Political Parties Summit in Accra, she emphasized that politics disconnected from the well-being of the people is meaningless. “Our people do not ask us to perform politics for its own sake. They deserve politics that translates into food security, decent jobs, functional schools, accessible health care, efficient infrastructure, security, and justice,” the vice president said.
Opoku-Agyemang also highlighted the importance of avoiding divisive partisan politics, stressing that political power should never come at the expense of societal peace and cohesion.
The summit is organized jointly by the Africa Governance Center, an independent think tank based in Accra focused on governance excellence, policy development, and institutional capacity building, and the government of Ghana, with the goal of supporting Africa’s economic transformation.
