As part of programmes to celebrate two decades of

Year, Kwabena Kwabena; Prince of highlife, and

the country before, during and after elections by
using their field of specialty.

Kwami will use his platform on peace FM to
promulgate peaceful elections whilst the musicians
will also propagate peace at four peace concerts
to be held in Kumasi, Tamale, Takoradi and Accra.


The first batch of celebrities were appointed to
coincide with 28th April, which marks exactly 20
years (1992-2012) Ghanaians voted for the
Referendum that ushered the country into
democratic dispensation.

The ambassadors will have the privilege to
autograph the Peace Flag which is expected to be
autograph first by President John Atta Mills,
former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings, and John
Agyekum Kufuor.

The Peace Flag, which is the flag of Ghana, will
as well be autographed by some clergy,
sportsmen/women, security capos, politicians,
traditional leaders, statesmen/women and some one
million Ghanaians a cross the country to symbolize
their pledge to peaceful elections.

We intend to present the Peace Flag to all the
various presidential and parliamentary candidates
for their autographs to symbolize their commitment
to peaceful, free and fair elections. The Peace
Flag would finally be handed to the National Peace
Council on the day of honouring the three Johns.

Some of the dignitaries suppose to autograph the
flag include:

Current Vice President John D. Mahama, Former Vice
President H.E Aliu Mahama, the Chairman of the
National Peace Council, Most Reverend Prof.
Emmanuel Asante, Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan, Electoral

of Lighthouse Chapel, Rev Dag Heward Mills,
General Overseer of Word Miracle Church Bishop
Agyin-Asare, the Chairman of the Church of
Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah, the Chairman
of the National Peace Council, etc.

The main objective of the ‘Portraits of the Johns’
is to celebrate the lives, works and achievements
of the three presidents in the fourth republic,
Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor and John
Evans Atta Mills for their contributions to the
growth and sustainability of Ghana’s democracy.

The event is to celebrate the 20 years of peaceful
democracy in Ghana, honour and highlight the
achievements of the various heads of state that
have served during the period, honour other
individuals and institutions that contributed
their quota to the building of peaceful and
stronger democracy.
