Aliu calls for peaceful election

Alhaji Aliu Mahama, the vice-presidential candidate of the NPP, has called on Ghanaians to pray for unity and peaceful election in December.

He said since peaceful co-existence and unity are pre-requisite for development there is the need for a collective approach to push Ghana forward irrespective of one's political affiliation.

Alhaji Mahama made the call during a courtesy call on the head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission in Tamale, Maulvi Abdul-Hameed Tahir. He said the NPP has followed with keen interest the role being played by the mission in the fields of health, education and agriculture and assured the Mission of the party's commitment to ensure a better environment to operate in when it comes to power.

Alhaji Aliu also commended the exemplary leadership role of the Mission and urged other religious groups to emulate. The Regional President of the Mission, Mr A. N. Moomin, commended the NPP for being the first party to interact with the mission in the region. He said that even though the Mission is a non-political, it prays for good governance.

Maulvi Tahir said he would convey the party's goodwill message to the congregation. Alhaji Salifu Abdul-Rahman COP, Regional Chairman and Mr Arimiyao Harruna, Regional Secretary of the NPP accompanied the vice-presidential candidate.
