The Deputy Minister reminded all political parties to be mindful of their actions, adding that, no government could preside over a nation in chaos.<\/p>\n

It was therefore important that the parties focused on issues of concern to the people and stayed away from anything likely to fuel unnecessary tension and trouble.<\/p>\n

He invited the people to work together to maintain the prevailing peace and said everybody had a responsibility to make sure that the coming election was peaceful.<\/p>\n

He underlined the government\u2019s determination to keep the nation united and stable before, during and after the elections.<\/p>\n

Representatives of some political parties including the National Democratic Congress (NDC) New Patriotic Party (NPP), Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) and the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC) took their turns to outline the vision of their parties<\/p>\n
