The initiative aims to mobilise young people against political and electoral violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe encouraged stakeholders during the introductory meeting to guide the youths to stay away from political and electoral violence. Young people should not be swayed by the small amounts of money politicians give them; instead, they should focus on building their future\u201d, Mvula said.<\/p>\n<p>Mvula emphasised that elections are a critical part of democracy, but the period leading up to them often sees a rise in violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must understand the principles of democracy and good governance. Let us respect the voting process, which Malawians agreed upon during the referendum,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Chairperson for Kilipura Youth Network, McLean Mwale, commended CHRR for launching the Rise for Peace project.
