"We note with concern the current political atmosphere, especially when we are preparing fro the elections later this year, and with to call on all politicians and their supporters to be circumspect and decorous in their utterances and actions.

"As Faith leaders, we are called to bear witness to our faith and commitment to peace. We, therefore condemn any action that would lead to disruption of peace before, during and after the 2020 elections," a statement from the council said.
