Journalists as well as designers and other support staff working for the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) like their colleagues in other media houses stayed awake on election day, December 7, just so they would be able to monitor proceedings at the polling stations and collation centres to report accurately proceedings to all Ghanaians.

Edmages captured some scenes in the newsroom (strongroom) where all the action was and stories emanated from for the reading public.

On Thursday, November 12, 2020, the Graphic, Spring Consult-led Corporates in Ghana Peace Campaign plane landed in Tamale, the Northern Regional capital.

The intent of the campaign was to preach peace championed by all stakeholders in Ghana's 8th Presidential and Parliamentary elections which come off today, December 7, 2020.

Culture was on full display at the Town Hall Meeting held at the Radach Lodge and Conference Centre, with drums heralding the arrival of all participants to the venue of the event. Apart from the peace messages that constituted most part of the programme, Batakaris or smocks of all shades also adorned the hall.

All participants also pledged to promote peace before, during and after the elections (https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/tamale-graphic-holds-town-hall-meeting-today.html.) Captured below are some scenes from Edmages.

The Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) with partner Spring Consult in the run up to the 2020 General Election have launched the Corporates in Ghana Peace Campaign to rally all stakeholders and corporate organisations to push for peace before, during and after the elections.

Originally planned to be launched in all 16 regions, the launch of the campaign had to be limited to just three to represent the entire country - they were the Ashanti, Northern and Volta regions.

The team was in Kumasi, Tamale and Ho to preach peace with political parties, security services and stakeholders such as the National Peace Council, the National Commission on Civic Education and the Electoral Commission.

Below are some scenes captured by Edmages from the Kumasi engagement which was in two parts - the Ashanti Regional Spotlight launch & Peace Campaign.
