He indicated that the general acceptance of the election results will be dependent on how the Commission demonstrates transparency before, during, and after the election process.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the 57th Special Congregation of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Otumfuo stated \u201cthe Electoral Commission must ensure fairness and be seen to be an impartial arbiter in the electoral process\u201d.<\/p>\n

The overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom also wants political parties to be mindful of their comments during campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the campaign temperature gains momentum, it is incumbent on all stakeholders particularly the political parties and their teeming supporters to uphold the sanctity of discourse and refrain from the propagation of divisive rhetoric and incendiary language.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur collective aspiration must be to foster an environment of mutual respect and constructive dialogue. In priding ourselves as a democratic nation, I urge all to unite in our resolve to safeguard the integrity of our established democratic institutions\u201d, Otumfuo urged.<\/p>\n
