A number of opposition parties that contested in this year's general election have said they will initiate talks with opposition leader John Dramani Mahama, to urge him to accept the election results.

According to them, Mahama's refusal to accept the results could derail the cuntry's peace - a situation,they have described, to need an intervention.

This was disclosed by Kofi Akpaloo, candidate and founder of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) in Accra.

“God willing, we (minority parties) shall go to meet him today. He is in Accra so we shall go to him and tell him to hold his peace. We will also plead on behalf of peace-loving Ghanaians for him to concede defeat and tell his party supporters to avoid any political violence”. Mr. Akpaloo said this in an interview with Kumasi-based Hello FM as quoted by Pulsegh.

According to Mr. Akpaloo, the  minority parties met on Wednesday to discuss the elections, and came out with the decision to engage in peace talks with former president, Mr. John Mahama.

Meanwhile, Hassan Ayariga, the flagbearer of the APC has called on John Mahama to accept the results or go to court.

“Yes, protest is a form of the democratic process but it is indeterminate in the sense that you may not know what may happen during the demonstration", he said.
