The National Peace Council (NPC) says it has commenced talks to resolve issues raised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) about the just ended general elections.

The NPC said it was engaging other key personalities and stakeholders who could be of help in addressing the concerns raised by the opposition.

“It is a complex issue now, when people experience shock, pain and loss, they react differently. Sometimes there is the need to allow tension to go down before you can re-engage and so what we are doing now is to determine the best approach to the whole issue going forward,” the Chairman of the NPC, Rev. Dr Ernest Adu-Gyamfi said, as quoted by theghanareport.

The NDC has rejected the EC’s declaration of President Nana Akufo-Addo as winner of the 2020 presidential election, saying the NDC won the presidential and parliamentary elections.

It said it would not accept the verdict of the commission since the result was flawed, stressing that it would employ all legitimate steps to reverse “this travesty of justice.”

But Rev. Dr Adu-Gyamfi said since the NDC began the controversy over the election results, the NPC had received calls from many foreign missions in the country, asking the kind of help the council would need to address the problem for peace to prevail.

However, he said, the council had told those embassies to hold on so as to enable it to determine the best way to go around the issue.

“Once we are done, I think we would be able to speak to the public as to what steps we have taken.

“We would, therefore, urge Ghanaians to remain patient and peaceful since we are working feverishly to ensure that the country remains peaceful,” he said.
