\u201cIt has been a very successful programme; the objective was to make sure those participating in the upcoming elections are actually going to pledge peace in the process. As the various leaders in our various parties, we have a responsibility to pave the way and that is what the programme is about,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we came to support to put the elections into the hands of God and it has been successful so far\u2026it\u2019s not over yet but what I have witnessed today is very successful,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
She further cautioned fellow politicians to desist from making empty promises and respect the populace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must respect and be truthful to one another in our campaigning and must desist from making false promises to the people. We must also desist from maligning others in the process of being political\u2026I don\u2019t think politics should be an excuse to insult other people\u2019s reputations\u2026and have a peaceful campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must remember that we are Ghanaians and no matter the outcome of the election results and whatever parties we belong to, we have to show respect and work together as one community,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
