The Chairman of the Peace Council Most. Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante rather urged electorates to vote based on competence. Addressing a press conference on Monday Most. Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante   said  “I don’t think that tribal factors must influence our elections in this country.”

President John Mahama told party supporters in the Upper East Region over the weekend that their best choice for president is a candidate from the north and he is a better representative than the NPP who will never give any northerner the opportunity to become a president.

The running mate of the NPP, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia subsequently argued that John Mahama is also not a good example of a president northerners should be proud of.

He told supporters in the Upper East Region that John Mahama has given northerners a bad name by presiding over corruption all these years.

The comments from the two have since been widely condemned by some sections of the public.

Meanwhile the NPC is expected to hold a second high level meeting of national leaders on strengthening Ghana’s democratic stability, peace and unity at the Great Hall of the University of Ghana. The meeting will be held on November 23, 2016.
