Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, has called on Muslim Youths not to be lured by disgruntled people to foment and perpetrate violence in the country during the December Election. Mr Ofosu-Ampofo, who said this on Sunday when inaugurating the Lashibi branch of the Zongo Caucus of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), pledged that the NDC would continue to support Muslims because they have kept faith with the party over the years. The 12-member executive of the Caucus has Mohammed Issah as the Chairman. He said as a party that believed in freedom of religion, NDC would respect and promote all religious organisations. Mr Ofosu-Ampofo, who is the NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Tema West, urged the electorate to bury their differences and vote massively for him to enable him to transform the constituency. Alhaji Amadu Ali, former Member of Parliament of the party for Atebubu, advised Muslim youth to conduct themselves in an orderly manner during and after the elections. The Executives of the Caucus pledged their diligence and commitment to the cause of the NDC to ensure its victory in the constituency, come December. Earlier in the day, Mr Ofosu-Ampofo had worshiped with the congregation of the Sakumono Village of the Church of Pentecost, the Assemblies of God at Community Two and the Christ Embassy at Nungua. He used the occasion to appeal to Christians to lead the crusade to ensure peaceful elections.
