Let's vote in peace to sustain nation - NCCE
By Isaac Arkoh
Breman-Asikuma (C/R), GNA - Ahead of Monday, December 7, 2020 polls, the National Commission for Civic Educational (NCCE) has appealed to all Ghanaian citizens, both home and abroad, to be peace ambassadors to sustain national peace and harmony.
This was emphasized by Mrs Mariam Ansah Gyamera, the Asikuma-Odeben-Brakwa District Director of the Commission at a Parliamentary Debate at Breman-Assikuma.
The Debate provided the platform for the parliamentary candidates to highlight and sell their plans and visions for the constituencies to the electorate.
“I'm making a passionate appeal to all citizens; we cannot underestimate the risks of peace that can emerge from the compounded negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Let us jealously guard the democratic gains Ghana has accrued over the years”.
’We need to live in peaceful co-existence with all irrespective of religion or tribal background to consolidate the unity and love the country had enjoyed over the years’’, she added.
Mrs Gyamera cautioned the youth to avoid politicians who would attempt to use them to cause mayhem before, during and after the December elections.
She advised the youth to be focused and shun any acts of political vigilantism in the lead up to this year’s Presidential and Parliamentary elections to advance the country’s democratic credentials.
Mr Anthony Effah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the only only Parliamentary Candidate to have attended the programme answered questions on the Commission's researched areas, education, health, agric, roads and infrastructure.
District Directors of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Police Commander and the general public took turns to address the crowd.
