The various political parties have pledged to conduct themselves in a decorous manner as they resume their campaigns for the December elections.The parties suspended their activities following the demise of the late President, John Evans Atta Mills who was finally interred last Friday.Presidential Candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, who told Joy News the late president has been given the due respect, stated that his party is going to begin campaigning vigorously.However, he stressed that that will be done with “great discipline, with respect, [and] tolerance for other people’s positions and views…”“…We will continue to offer solutions to the problems that continue to confront us as a nation,” he assured.The Director of Communications of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nii Armah Akomfrah, who made the pledge on behalf of his party, said the CPP will begin campaigning on Monday.“…we are anxious that the other parties should be put to the test and we hope that it will be about issues and not to return to insults…”Meanwhile a special aide to New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, has also told Joy News, the party will begin its campaign on Tuesday.Mustapha Hamid said “once the presidential candidate of the (ruling National Democratic Congress) NDC has changed, the communication would have to be about him.”“Essentially, this is a contest for leadership, so if we were talking about the leadership of Mills and Nana Addo, now we will be talking about the leadership of President John Mahama and Nana Akufo-Addo but not whether someone has a big head or a fat stomach...” he maintained.The NDC, however said it will hold on to campaigning for now and rather concentrate on other equally important matters, even as they prepare to endorse President John Mahama as flagbearer.
