The leadership of the Pan African Parliament is urging political parties in the country to exhibit tolerance ahead of the General Elections in December.

According to the body, Ghana has a unique opportunity to demonstrate to the world that democracy has a place in Africa, and maintain that enviable record.

Speaking to JOY NEWS on the sidelines of a training programme for members of the Pan African Parliament in Ghana, Vice President of the legislative body Bernadette Lahai said all political parties must accept the outcome of the elections.

"Politics is not war, politics is about convincing the electorates that your manifesto is better than the other  political party. At the end of the day, you have one big goal, the development of Ghana," Madam Lahai said.

She, therefore implored every Ghanaian to exercise patience and be tolerant as there would be another election in the coming fours years. 

Madam Lahai urged those who lose in the political race to go back to the field, ascertain what accounted for their loss and work hard. 

"I hope that Ghanaians will be peaceful because I enjoy you on the radio; you jaw jaw jaw, but you don't war war war. Please don't go the way we have gone. Politics is not a fight, politics is a difference in opinion."

She said they are looking forward to a violence free, peaceful, brotherly love during elections so the gains made over the years would continue emphasising that this year's election will not be the last election to be held in Ghana.
