Mrs Vernelle Trim, Chief Political Officer for the United States of America Embassy in Ghana, on Friday appealed to politicians to be decent and avoid intemperate language to ensure peace in Election 2012.
She said the country had gone through successful elections and the world was looking up to Ghana to replicate its political success in December.
Mrs Trim, who was speaking at a lecture on Election 2012 in Accra organized by the World Peace Volunteers (WPV), a civil society organization aimed at promoting peace through advocacy, called for the strengthening of state institutions to enable them to carry out their mandate to deepen democracy.
She commended the country for establishing peace building organisations such as the National Peace Council to promote peace and security.
Mrs Trim appealed to politicians to tolerate each other's views and use dialogue in resolving conflicts instead of resorting to violence.
Mr Seth Osei Acheampong, President of WPV, said there was the need for the use of time-tested peace building mechanisms to ensure peace and security.
