The government of the United States of America is pledging to collaborate with Ghana\u2019s Electoral Commission and all relevant stakeholders to ensure the integrity of this year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n
The information was relayed to President Mahama by the new US Ambassador to Ghana, Robert Jackson, when he presented his letters of credence at the Flagstaff house on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the two countries in November will go to the polls in an activity that is only separated by a day with Ghana going first.<\/p>\n
The New Ambassador believes that Ghana will conduct an election devoid of violence in November.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a unique year for our democracies, we have November, your country will vote, 24 hours later and my country will go to the polls. In both cases,\u00a0I\u2019m confident that it will continue to the traditions of peaceful, credible election.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel that it\u2019s worth restating that United States’ interest is only in the credibility of the election, it\u2019s up to the people of Ghana to decide their future and we look forward to work with the Electoral Commission, civil society to assist in supporting the next election,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
