The Northern Ghana Fashion Awards, renowned for celebrating fashion and culture, is now taking a pivotal role in promoting peace ahead of the December 7th elections. As part of their efforts, the organizers have arranged a series of gala matches on October 4th, 2024, bringing together members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), along with other youth groups in Tamale. These matches, set to take place at Kulikuli School Park in Changli, serve as a peace-building initiative leading up to the awards night on October 5th, 2024.
The gala matches, which will see the Kandaha NPP Group face off against the Gbanavilbu Shei NDC Group and the Dasa Cultural Troupe compete against a team of NGFA nominees, are organized by ‘AkwaabaGH’ with the support of media partners like HYPE MEDIA GH, Zaa Multimedia, and HYPE TV. By bringing these groups together, the Northern Ghana Fashion Awards are not only celebrating style but also fostering unity and peaceful coexistence during a crucial time in the nation’s political calendar.
This initiative underscores the Northern Ghana Fashion Awards’ commitment to using their platform for more than just fashion, but also as a means to bridge divides within the community. By turning a spotlight on peace and collaboration through these matches, the organizers are setting an example of how cultural events can play a significant role in promoting harmony, particularly in the lead-up to critical national events like the elections.
