Sunyani (B/A) Jan. 3, GNA - Mr. Kwadwo Nyamekye Marfo, Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, on Monday urged Ghanaians to allow the national interest to override their individual political aspirations as the country gears towards the December general election. He said the Government would work hard to ensure that the presidential and parliamentary elections were free, fair and devoid of electoral fraud and malpractices.

The Regional Minister was speaking at an end of year party organised by the Regional Coordinating Council for the general public, departmental heads and media practitioners in Sunyani. Mr. Nyamekye Marfo noted with regret that election disputes had stirred troubles and wars in some parts of Africa due to misunderstandings among the leadership of political parties and supporters.
