PROGRESSIVE JOURNALISTS UNION OF GHANA (PRO-JUG) CONGRATULATES PROF. MILLS


The Progressive Journalists Union of Ghana (Pro-JUG) wishes to congratulate Professor John Evans Atta Mills and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on their victory in the just ended 2008 general elections.

We of Pro-JUG commend the president elect and the NDC for their composure during the entire election and would like to advise the NDC supporters that in celebrating the victory of the party they should not indulge in any act that might provoke their opponents.

We also commend the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and their supporters for their self-control during the elections.

Once again the Electoral Commission (EC) has proven that it is very independent and capable of handling any electoral challenge. We particularly commend Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan for exercising in professionalism in ensuring that our beloved Ghana had a more transparent, free and fair election.

We also congratulate the media, security agencies and all observer groups for a good job done.

Finally, irrespective of the isolated skirmishes recorded, Ghanaians must be praised once again for well-behaving in an electioneering period.

Again Ghana has proven to the continent and the entire world that democracy and the rule of law can be practiced in Africa.
