<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAccording to Her Ladyship, \u201cI am delighted to receive the trophy which serves as a token of Ghana\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDemocracy has been the backbone of Ghana\u2019s peace and development and the decision to use football, which is the passion of the nation to promote democracy in Ghana is a step in the right direction\u201d. She said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wish to commend Parliament for this noble initiative that seeks to further enhance Ghana\u2019s democracy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Justice further said, she will mobilise her team to the stadium to throw their support behind the match to ensure its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Honourable Member of Parliament for Zebilla East Constituency, Cletus Avoka, also said, \u201cthe match would be used to promote free, fair and transparent elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are in an election year and I hope this special initiative would be used as a platform to promote peace and unity in the country\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He continued, \u201cWe want to ensure that, after the elections none of the parties would come to the Chief Justice seeking redress or any matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI also want to appeal to the Electoral Commission to ensure free and fair officiating as the final arbiter of the game,\u201d Mr. Avoka noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko would meet for the third time this season, after they had met twice in the Ghana Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two clubs would vie for the maiden Democracy Cup, an initiative of Parliament of Ghana to celebrate 30 years of parliamentary democracy in Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the main match, Members of Parliament on both sides (ie Majority and Minority) would take on former Black Stars players in a special curtain raise as a sign of Unity and Peace ahead of the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
