Mr Daniel Kweku Botwe, Minister for Regional Reorganisation and Development, said government was confident of peaceful referendums for the creation of the proposed six new regions in the country.

He said government had done enough sensitization for peaceful referendums, especially in the Oti enclave of the Volta region.

The Minister said this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of a STAR-Ghana/Ghana Journalists Association panel discussion on the creation of new regions.

The panel discussion dubbed," We the people" was the first in series of STAR-Ghana/ Ghana Journalists Association "Enhanced Media-CSOs partnerships for Inclusive Local Governance."

Mr Botwe said his Ministry held several engagements with stakeholders and encouraged them to respect the views and rights of others before, during and after the exercises.

He said government had ensured a fair playing ground for all parties and debunked reports of intimidation against some people.

"...a lot is happening on the ground. It is interesting to see people from different political parties working together in committees, so Ghana will be winner after everything," the Minister said.
