Political parties urged to engage truthful party agents

Wa, Jan. 20, GNA - Mr. John Bosco Yaagi, Deputy Upper West Regional Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has advised political parties to engage party agents that would give true accounts of what happens in polling stations to prevent clashes during elections.

He observed that some political party agents assigned to polling stations on voting day sometimes spread false information about happenings at the stations to their supporters and consequently provoke violence to dent the credibility o elections.

Mr. Yaagi, who said this at the inauguration of the Wa Municipal Inter-Party Dialogue Committee at Wa on Thursday called on the parties to educate their supporters on the laws governing the electoral process.
