Prison inmates urge politicians to bring their campaigns to them 

Inmates of the Navrongo Prison in the Upper East Region, have called on politicians to visit and educate them on their manifestos to enable them to make informed electoral choices.  

This was when the NCCE paid a visit to the prison to educate inmates on political tolerance, the rights of a voter, electoral offences and the steps of voting. 
  
The Municipal Director of the NCCE, Ganvu Paul Kwame, said the programme is part of the Commission’s efforts to ensure all inclusiveness in the political process. 

He said as Ghanaians they are major stakeholders in the election process, hence the need to participate fully in the upcoming general election. 

Mr Kwame said voting is essential since it enables the electorate to hold politicians accountable as well as participate in the decision making process of the country.  

He urged the inmates to be guided by their conscience when voting and resist the temptation of accepting money and gifts from politicians.
