The Eastern Regional Chief Imam, Alhaji Yussif Amudani Sulemana, has called on political parties to campaign on issues devoid of insult, rancour and name calling in the run up to the 2016 elections.

He said this would enable the country to consolidate the current peace and unity for an incident free election in 2016.

Chief Imam Sulemana gave the advice during the Eid ul Fitr celebration at the Central Mosque in Koforidua.

He called on all Muslims to maintain the virtues, attributes and moral values of love, compassion, forgiveness and charity, espoused during the month of Ramadan.

Mr Antwi- Boasiako Sekyere, the Eastern Regional Minister, urged Ghanaians to protect and nurture the peace the country was enjoying.

He encouraged Muslims to conduct themselves well in the upcoming 2016 election, to ensure an incident free election.

Mr Mark Osei-Assibey, the Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, urged Ghanaians to sustain the peace and unity that has existed between Christians and Muslims over the years for national development.
