The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Pusiga constituency in the Upper East Region, Alhaji Wahab Abdul-Hannan Aludiba, has called for peace before, during, and after the December 7 general elections.
In an interview with Metro TV’s Ibrahim Abode, on the sidelines of this year’s Eid celebration, Alhaji Aludiba who doubles as the Chief Executive Office of Ghana National Food Buffer Stock Company expressed his commitment to a peaceful electoral process.
“I want to tell the good people of Pusiga that this is the last Eid before the December elections. I am calling for peace, peace before, during and after the elections,”.
Alhaji Aludiba emphasized that the election should not be viewed as a “do or die affair” and that he will not encourage any violence.
He called on the constituent to ensure that there will be no blood shed during the elections, highlighting the importance of prioritizing peace and unity over violence.
He expressed trust that his track record and performance will earn him the support of the constituents which will serve as a catalyst for his election as the member of parliament come December 7.
“At the end of the day let’s rally behind the person. It is not a do or die affair, I won’t encourage violence. I have trust that with my output so far the people would vote for me”
The Pusiga seat is currently being occupied by NDC’s Laadi Ayii Ayamba who polled 14,929 representing 42.31% in the 2020 Parliamentary elections. She beat her major contender on the ticket of the NPP Abdul-Karim Zanni Dubiure who polled 14,866 representing 42.13%.
A slim margin, which Alhaji Wahab Abdul-Hannan Aludiba is hoping to overturn in the December 7 parliamentary elections.
