A local non-governmental organisation, My Age, has launched a campaign to preach peace after the harmonised elections slated for July 30.
The campaign dubbed, “I Vote”, is aimed at encouraging politicalleaders and their supporters to accept the outcome of the election and ensure sustained peace in the country.
My Age programmes manager Mr Joseph Njowa told participants at a meeting here recently that there was need for tolerance among various political leaders and their supporters after the polls.
He said it was important for politicians and their supporters to understand that there were winners and losers in every electoral contest.
“The, I Vote campaign is mainly aiming at preaching peace after elections and emphasizing that people should accept whatever outcome and maintain peace after the announcement of election results,” said Mr Njowa.
“It (I Vote campaign) is one of our latest projects under the democracy and governance department and we are targeting everyone who is a registered voter to get access to this campaign and its mandate.”
Mr Njowa said his organisation would embark on a programme to promote healing amongst citizens after the elections.
