Former Methodist Bishop of Kumasi, Rev. Prof. Osei Sarfo-Kantanka wants police to ban political party health walk until after the December elections.
His call follows Sunday’s incident in Accra where NDC supporters on a health walk clashed with their NPP counterparts near NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo’s residence.
A similar exercise at Asawasi in Kumasi during a recent tour by President Mahama nearly resulted in violence by for intervention of security agents.
Reverend Sarfo –Kantanka says such activities can only heighten tension in the country and do little to the electoral fortunes of the parties at this stage of the electioneering.
“The police can also say that this is the kind of campaigns we can not control but people can go ahead with their own health walk. They can take them to the supreme court but the police can say that they can not control them”, he said.
Prof. Sarfo-Kantanka charges political party leadership to prevail on their supporters to stop provoking opponents.
“They should let the peace council have their rest and concentrate on other things rather than always solving disputes…don’t go and provoke another and let the peace council come in”, he added.

please so call Rev. Prof. Osei Sarfo-Kantanka should be intelligent enough and rather think of the police banding demonstrations and not health walk.One sided Rev who will noe live with the truth.
It's fair for the police to sanction Methodist church services across the country and then stop health walks.
Take a look at picture # 3 and you will see NPP people carrying guns. The goon in the green trousers has a pistol in his right hand and another NPP supporter wearing the white and blue T-shirt with his right hand raised has a gun in his left hand too. Looks like the one in the green T-shirt has a pistol too. The police should find these NPP goons and arrest them for unlawful possession of guns. ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Gun-shots-as-NPP-NDC-supporters-clash-at-Akufo-Addo-s-residence-486357?gallery=3
Id.iot! St0pid f0ol! What needs to be banned is NPP supporters carrying guns. Akufo Addo leave in his father's house close by the road so is this man saying no one can use that road because Akufo Addo lives there?
