Let�s Ensure That 2016 Elections Is Conducted In An Atmosphere Of Peace- Veep
Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has reiterated the need to ensure that this year’s election is conducted in an atmosphere of peace, law and order. He said electioneering is not by force, violence but a competition for the development of the country.
Addressing the chiefs and people of Larteh at a durbar to climax their Odwira, Mr Amissah-Arthur appealed to supporters of political parties to be circumspect in their utterances and behavior in order not to spark any violence. He assured the chiefs and people of Larteh that President Mahama and NDC stand for development so all their remaining infrastructural challenges will be addressed.
The chiefs and people of Larteh defied the continuous rainfall to turn out in their numbers for the durbar. Supporters of the NDCand the NPP also turn out in their numbers and added political colour to the celebration of the Odwira.
While the NDC supporters shouted ‘JM Toaso’, ‘Yee Toaso’, their NPP counterparts countered by saying ‘We Want Change’, ‘We Want Change’ and the vice versa amid waving of placards with different inscriptions. The crescendo intensified on each side of the two political parties when Vice President Amissah-Arthur entered the Larteh town.
He urged Ghanaians to jealously guard the country’s peace so that government can bring the needed development to the people.
