Head of the Monitoring Unit at the Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu, has called on the New Patriotic Party not to encourage any form of vigilantism during the party's primaries tomorrow, June 20.

Over 100000 delegates are expected to decide the fate of 308 parliamentary aspirants in the primaries.

The aspirants are said to be pitching their campaign messages in order to emerge victor and compete in the main parliamentary elections on December 7th this year.

Speaking ahead of the primaries, Charles Owusu has cautioned that no acts of violence should characterize the NPP primaries stressing there will be dire consequences on perpetrators of crime.

He admonished to the party's leadership, members and supporters not to dent the image and reputation of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, particularly when he has banned vigilante groups and their operations.

"Crime is very, very expensive . . . We know the President says he has cancelled vigilantism. If he has cancelled, then the NPP as a party should give respect and honor to Mr. Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President and hold elections devoid of violence and any kind of chaos. I believe they have nothing to honor the President, they should just do this for the country to have peace because we can't buy peace with money. It's priceless'," he stated on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo'.
