Mr Pontius Pilate Baba Apaabey, Deputy Volta Regional Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has commended political parties disqualified by the Electoral Commission (EC) from contesting the December Polls for exercising "moral tolerance" after their disqualifications.
"The decisions of the parties to engage the EC in further deliberations or resort to court actions are demonstrations of tolerance and confidence in the rule of law, which must be commended," he said.
Mr Apaabey made the commendation at a Volta Regional Council of Labour Meeting in Ho.
He said tolerance is a powerful tool that ensures peaceful co-existence and praised the parties for not causing mayhem, irrespective of investments made towards contesting the elections.
Mr Apaabey said that show of tolerance should inspire political parties contesting the elections to abide by the electoral laws and allow the EC to carry out its constitutional duty.
"Nobody is born tolerant but we must all learn to be tolerant. If you are not satisfied with a development, you can go to the law court but not take to arms," he said.
Mr Apaabey appealed to any political party that would win the December election to restrain its excesses and accommodate the losers.
Togbe Adom Drayi II, Head of Organization Department of the Trade Union Congress Ghana (TUC) , called on Ghanaians to justify the European Union's confidence in the country to organize credible and peaceful elections.
"Our expectation is that, all workers will go and vote and come back to work peacefully," he said.
Mr Elvis S. Van-Lare, Volta Regional Secretary of the TUC, described the labour front in the Region as relatively stable.
He appealed to the National Secretariat to increase logistics to the Region to make district councils vibrant.
