Appeal to youth to refrain from taking alcohol before voting

The Dufia of Taviefe Avedome community in the Ho Municipality, Togbe Amorni has asked the youth to desist from taking alcohol before casting their ballot tomorrow.  

He said alcohol influences the brain and has the tendency of making the youth to indulge in acts of violence at the least provocation. 

Togbe Amorni and his elders gave the advice at a community durbar to educate their subjects on the dos and don’ts during the election.

He noted that should violence break out, it is only a few people who will get the chance to escape with the rest especially the aged, women and children being victims of brutalities.

Togbe Amorni who has reigned for the past 55 years commended previous Presidents for their achievements. 
 
It is therefore in the interest of the people to maintain the peace being enjoyed now to consolidate the achievements made as a country. 

He urged the youth to put the interest of the nation first and  called on all to be vigilant and expose any group of persons or individuals who may attempt  to use the youth to cause chaos and violence during and after the election. 

The Assembly member for the area, Peace Asamoah Panku used the platform to educate the people on the voting process and how to thumbprint the ballot papers to avoid many spoilt or rejected ballots.

She said last year, spoilt ballot papers in the Ho Central Constituency alone were two thousand  and this must be prevented.
