He reaffirmed his dedication to a transparent electoral process, appreciating Ghanaians for upholding peace during his nearly eight-year presidency. “As we know, without peace, there can be no meaningful development,” he stated. “The peace we currently enjoy will carry us through to the elections on December 7. I assure the people of Anlo, the Volta region, and all Ghanaians that this election will be free, fair, transparent, and peaceful.”

President Akufo-Addo recognized the presence of various chiefs, including Osabarimba Kwesi Atta II, Paramount Chief of the Oguaa Traditional Area, and Daasebre Nana Kwaku Boateng III, Paramount Chief of New Juaben, showcasing a strong sense of national unity.
The festival featured vibrant performances of music, dance, and cultural customs, celebrating the rich traditions of the Anlo people and the collective heritage of Ghana.
