Election 2016: Accept the verdict of the people - US Ambassador to Ghana 

The US Ambassador to Ghana, Robert Jackson says the US government has no favourite in Ghana's upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections. 

He said the US government enjoys very good relations with all parties in the country and appealed to all the presidential hopefuls to accept the verdict of the people. 

Mr Jackson, who was on a five day working visit to the Northern Region, spoke exclusively with our Correspondent Murtala Issah in Tamale. 

Mr Jackson said he has so far met with President John  Mahama and the NPP flag bearer, Nana Akuffo Addo,  and yet to meet with other presidential hopefuls. 

The US ambassador is optimistic that Ghana will pull off another successful election in December and expressed the commitment of the US government and a continued support to make the elections a success.

Ambassador Jackson called on all political parties to desist from creating vigilante groups to intimidate the electorate.

He said the practice of keeping vigilante groups is not democratic and asked parties to have faith in the people.
