The Soka Gakkai International(SGI) is a worldwide religion practiced in more than 192 countries and territories. Its teachings are based on the respect for the dignity of each  individual's life and the inter-connectedness of all life. That life is the most precious of all treasures; all the treasures of the universe put together cannot be equal to the Treasure of a single life. It is for this reason that  SGI holds highest the principle that while going about our individual activities, we should always think about protecting life. Hence the importance of Peace to the SGI. That is why, the need to maintain peace and order before, during and after the December 2016 elections; is of paramount importance to the SGI.

The  SGI movement is creating fresh hope around the world. In many parts of the world today, misery and suffering are spreading, signs of an evil and impure age are seen everywhere, in our homes, in the society, in politics, in economics and in almost all other fields of human endeavor. People are suffering. That is why thoughtful concerned people are seeking a religion of hope that promotes revitalization and positive development in the face of any kind of adversity, a philosophy that enables people to reveal their inner potential. It is precisely for this reason that the men division of Soka Gakkai International are calling on all stake holders to prevent any conflict and chaos that could erupt before, during and after the December 2016 National Elections by spreading the law of hope to all Ghanaians.
"we seek to reach those whose spirits wander in darkened night, to teach them of the moment-by-moment struggle to transform life in its very depths." Daisaku Ikeda.
