Mrs. Joyce Benedicta Afutu, the Director of Communication and Corporate Affairs at the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has highlighted the significance of maintaining a non-partisan stance in district-level elections.
Emphasising the need for voters to prioritise candidates based on their potential contributions to community development, Mrs. Afutu urged citizens to transcend political affiliations for the collective benefit of their localities.
She advised voters to focus on individuals who can genuinely contribute to local development and communities and to assess candidates based on their track records, skills, and plans for community enhancement, thereby fostering a more informed and effective democratic process.
Mrs. Afutu urged individuals to exercise their right to vote during district-level elections. This call is accompanied by a plea for voters to abstain from engaging in violence and to conduct themselves with dignity throughout the electoral process.
