The Ghana Drunkards Association has called for the closure of all drinking bars, spots, and pubs on Election Day, December 7, 2024, as part of their efforts to ensure a transparent and peaceful environment during the election.
In a statement issued on Monday, December 2, 2024, and signed by its President, Moses Onyah, the association urged bar owners and bartenders to refrain from opening their establishments, including spots, pubs, bars, and blue kiosks, from 6 AM to 6 PM on Election Day.
The association explained that the closure is intended to prevent individuals from consuming alcohol before heading to the polls, which could lead to issues such as the counting of rejected ballots and disorder at polling stations.
“This directive is to ensure that consumers do not get themselves drunk before going to the polls and to ensure sanity at the various polling stations during the process,” part of the statement read.
The Ghana Drunkards Association has called on all bar owners and consumers to adhere to this directive to help ensure the election is peaceful, orderly, and transparent.
