Council Of State Meets Political Parties

Accra - The Council of State last Wednesday held a meeting with the leadership of registered political parties in Accra to discuss the political situation and campaign for December's vote.

A statement signed by the chairman of the Council, Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia said they have noted with concern that the campaign has begun with the trading of accusations and counter-accusations in provocative and abusive language.

This trend of affairs has the tendency and potential to disturb or destroy the peace and stability in the country.

The Council has accordingly appealed to the leadership of the various parties not only to avoid making provocative statements but also to prevail upon their activists and supporters to be circumspect in the language and dealings with other parties.
