President John Dramani Mahama has implored supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to desist from acts of violence on the campaign trail ahead of the elections in December.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the President\u2019s behalf ahead of the party’s campaign launch in Cape Coast, the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, cautioned supporters of the party that they would have to live with the consequences of any violent conduct on their own.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that we are campaigning doesn\u2019t mean you should go and fight. There are people who in the name of political parties escalate political discourse into violence and the next moment someone is dead,\u201d the Chief of Staff said during a church service ahead of the launch.<\/p>\n
