The Egyptian Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Omar Selim, has expressed confidence in Ghana's ability to come out of the Supreme Court judgement unscathed, and re-echo its credentials as the most peaceful and democratic country in a troubled region.
That situation, Mr Selim noted, would also put another feather in the cap of the country that had proved that it loved peace and harmony.
In an interaction with the Editor of the Daily Graphic, Mr Ransford Tetteh in Accra, the ambassador noted, "Ghanaians are very peaceful and I believe they will go through this peacefully".
Mr Selim called on Mr Tetteh to discuss issues of mutual interest, including the recent developments in Egypt, and he indicated that the country would go to polls in May, next year.
Many Ghanaians are eagerly awaiting the verdict from the nine-member panel which heard the landmark case on the country's election petition, to be delivered tomorrow.
While some think the nation's peace will not be breached after the verdict, there are those who have expressed some fear that the verdict could spark violence.
Mr Selim, who described Ghana as his second home, however, said the country stood to benefit a lot if it was able to come out of the situation successfully, adding that it would, for instance, attract more investors and foster economic growth.
"I have faith in Ghanaians scaling this wall once again and proving to the whole world that the people believe in the rule of law, and thus attract more investor confidence in the economy," he added.
He, however, appealed to all Ghanaians to accept the verdict and give peace a chance in their daily endeavours.
Mr Tetteh said the Daily Graphic was also playing its role to ensure that people understood the processes so they did not take the law into their hands.
