Takoradi, Sept. 3, GNA – Madam Naana Otoo, the Aowin Municipal Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) in the Western North Region, has urged the public to maintain peace and unity during the Election 2024.
She said it was only through peace and stability that the country would develop and improve the well-being of the citizenry.
Madam Otoo made the call when the NCCE held an Inter-Party Dialogue Committee (IPDC) meeting to discuss the means to ensure a peaceful environment before, during and after the December 7 polls within the municipality.
The meeting was attended by political party representatives, security personnel, religious and traditional leaders, and youth groups, among other stakeholders.
Madam Otoo said the IPDC meeting was part of the NCCE’s mandate to bring together key stakeholders to educate the people to ensure peaceful and successful elections come December 7.
She said the committee members were to among other things promote democracy, manage political tensions and promote issue-based election campaigns in the municipality.
The District Director tasked the members to foster unity among political party candidates and their supporters and other members of the public to enable them to make informed decisions about the election.
She called for deepened awareness among the electorate against vote buying, misinformation and disinformation, religious intolerance, use of abusive language on campaign platforms by politicians and other acts that could threaten the peaceful conduct of the election.
