Nkoranza (B/A), July 15, GNA - Three candidates from Nkoranza South Constituency have filed nominations to contest the Parliamentary seat in the 2008 general elections on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress(NDC).

Mr Peter Owusu Baffoe, Nkoranza South Constituency Chairman of the party who received their forms during an executive meeting at Nkoranza urged the candidates to carry out their campaign peacefully devoid of insults, provocative statements and character assassination against their opponents.

Mr Baffoe reminded them that since they belonged to the same party, they have a common goal and objective therefore, whoever emerged victorious would contest for NDC against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) next year.

He stressed the need for the constituency executives of the party to stay away from the electioneering campaigns of the candidates in order not to create any divisions and differences among the party members in the communities.

Mr Baffoe announced that a date would be fixed for the conduct of primaries when nominations closed by July. Mr Yaw Boateng, Assistant Youth Organiser of the party advised the youth not to engage in hectic and provocative discussions with their opponents in the communities in order not to create misunderstanding among the people and affect peace in the area. Mr Boateng urged them to be law abiding and respect people in authority as any negative practice and attitude among them would affect the NDC.

The three candidates agreed to comport themselves and remain united during their campaigns to solicit for votes. 15 July 07
