“The African Electoral Institute (AEI) strongly condemns the incidents of the removal of flags and billboards of opponents and replaced with culprits’ choice/choosing as disturbing.
This action undermines the spirit of multiparty democracy which requires/dictates political tolerance and the principles of peaceful coexistence among political parties as essentials for democratic growth and development.
African Electoral Institute calls on the police to investigate and take appropriate action since ‘a stitch in time saves nine.’
AEI also calls on all political parties to promote peaceful competition and respect each other’s rights. We also urges the Electoral Commission to address this incident at the Inter-party Advisory Committee (IPAC) level to ensure a level playing field.
African Electoral Institute entreat all political parties
to work together to maintain a peaceful and democratic environment for all.
