THE New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on other political parties, especially the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to collaborate with the party to help the Northern Regional security committee to find lasting solutions to a peaceful coexistence between the people in the area before, during and after the 2008 elections.
It said violence in any part of the country would not promote the current democratic dispensation and benefit the nation as whole.
The National Chairman of the party, Mr Peter Mac Manu, who made the call at a press conference on the recent disturbances in the Northern Region in Accra yesterday said the NPP was not making the call out of fear.
He suggested that the two main political parties must support the security agencies for their efforts to be fruitful.
He said the NPP did not believed in politics of violence and recrimination and added that it was time for the accommodation of differences rather than accusations and counter accusations and urged all members and sympathisers of the NPP to refrain from acts that could spark fire.
The NPP Chairman said the 2008 election must be won based on which political party could do better based on the party’y past record and manifesto and not of violence.
He said the NPP had also included in its education campaign to its members, peaceful and non-provocative conduct and had urged all constituency and regional executives to follow especially Public Order Act, 491 in the planning and organisation of all electioneering activities.
He also called on the law-enforcement agencies to maintain peace and security and deal ruthlessly with any one caught acting lawlessly.
