The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, has called on the country�s security agencies to exhibit fairness in executing their duties during the December elections in order to avoid bloodbath. Speaking to members of the Inter Party Youth Committee, who visited him at his Nima residence in Accra, Nana Addo said an impartial and responsible security agency is a guarantee that the nation will be peaceful during the elections. Nana insisted that the security services must act as �agents of the Ghanaian people and of the Ghanaian state in ensuring that peace is maintained before, during and after the elections.� �I do not think that the spilling of a single drop of a Ghanaian blood is worth of my victory, but at the same time the security agencies should not act as agents of any party and ensure a lasting peace before and after the elections,� the main opposition leader said. �They [the security agencies] hold part of the key to peace and stability in our country,� Nana Addo said. He added: �If we have a security service that do their work impartially, and do their work in a responsible manner, that is the best guarantee that peace will prevail in our country.�
