They are President John Dramani Mahama, Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Ivor Greenstreet.
The three are flagbearers of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Conventional Peoples Party (PNC) respectively.
The event dubbed “Preserving A Millenium of Peace; Our Collective Responsibility’ had the Dr. Edward Mahama, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples National Convention (PNC) participating.
A representative of the Electoral Commission of Ghana and the Chairman National Peace Council, Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante also graced the occasion.

The Summit was jointly sponsored by the Rotary Club Accra – Legon and EIB Network.
It event programmed to start at 10:00 GMT at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre but delays due to the absence of the three candidates pushed it to 11:00GMT.
