In the era of Multi-party democratic dispensations, Ghana is a rising star in the West Africa sub-region. With high concerns of election irregularities in Nigeria; disputed elections in Cod Ivoire and Togo and the return of the decade of coup d’ et at experience in Burkina Faso, Mali, Chard, Guinea Bissau. Ghana’s democratic achievement remains enviable in the sub-region. The rise in Militia in the West African sub-region is also a test of the fact that Ghana’s governance system is yielding dividends.From the election petition in 2012 to another election petition in 2016 is an indication Ghana’s political institutions and systems are well nurtured. Although the country has rich experience in terms of military interventions, the stable democratic process experienced over the 30 years. It must be noted that multi-party democracy presents the citizenry an opportunity to select from many options and for that matter, Ghana will be 9th time lucky to select a president and parliamentary representative.It is, however, important for Ghana not to lose focus and undermine fundamental principles that will bring several decades of democratic growth to ground zero. The alleged registration of child voters; the conduct of party serial callers and postering of so-called party foot soldiers or vigilantes; political leadership utterances; massive corruption; and the new culture of vote buying and negative practices that threaten our democratic credentials.The Ghanaian youth must demonstrate maturing and support nation building agenda; rather than allow themselves to be exploited for political gains. This will be more significant in creating a healthy environment for political activism and a favourable election process. Tolerance, stability and a sense of responsibility will enable Ghana urge as a giant in democratic practices.Mr. Tahiru Lukman, the Founder and CEO of Ideapath Consult made this known as a resource person in Issa during the Daffiama Bussie Issa District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) inter-party dialogue Committee meetings which was on peace, Tolerance and countering violent extremism and vigilantism at the district levels.
