President Akufo-Addo reaffirms Ghana’s democratic credentials at UNGA

Accra, Sept. 25, GNA – President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured global leaders of Ghana’s commitment to uphold its democratic principles and territorial integrity, especially considering the increasing instability in sub-Saharan Africa.

During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, President Akufo-Addo pointed out that recent military coups in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Guinea have disrupted constitutional governance in West Africa.

He warned that those upheavals posed serious risks to the advancement of democracy in the region, calling for collaborative efforts to restore democratic principles and maintain stability.

The situation in the sub-region has become increasingly insecure due to the actions of armed groups, violent extremists, and criminal networks.
