Former Methodist Bishop of Kumasi, Rev. Prof. Osei Sarfo-Kantanka wants police to ban political party health walk until after the December elections.
His call follows Sunday’s incident in Accra where NDC supporters on a health walk clashed with their NPP counterparts near NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo’s residence.
A similar exercise at Asawasi in Kumasi during a recent tour by President Mahama nearly resulted in violence by for intervention of security agents.
Reverend Sarfo –Kantanka says such activities can only heighten tension in the country and do little to the electoral fortunes of the parties at this stage of the electioneering.
“The police can also say that this is the kind of campaigns we can not control but people can go ahead with their own health walk. They can take them to the supreme court but the police can say that they can not control them”, he said.
Prof. Sarfo-Kantanka charges political party leadership to prevail on their supporters to stop provoking opponents.
“They should let the peace council have their rest and concentrate on other things rather than always solving disputes…don’t go and provoke another and let the peace council come in”, he added.
