Mr Ernest Eli Billy Kwami, the District Director, Denkyembour District Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Akwatia, has urged the electorate to be apolitical in the upcoming District Level Elections (DLEs).
He said per article 55 (3) of the 1992 Constitution, DLEs were non – partisan and advised voters to avoid such inclinations.
He advised a sensitisation forum organised by the Commission on the upcoming DLEs slated for December 19.
Mr Kwami underscored the importance local governance to rapid socio-economic development of small towns and villages and encouraged the populace to participate in the exercise.
He appealed to the citizens to elect competent and qualified candidates committed to the development of their communities.
“Please desist from demanding financial or other personal benefits from the candidates for votes. It is illegal,” he said.
