\n

Registered political parties are currently conducting their internal primaries to get representatives for presidency, legislators and councillors posts.<\/p>\n

But speaking at the commission\u2019s pavilion here over the weekend, Eng Stella Manyanya, Deputy Minister for Industry and Trade noted that some politicians have begun displaying intolerance acts that could risk the October general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of unacceptable activities being witnessed in constituencies all across the country. It\u2019s unfortunate that NEC hasn\u2019t begun issuing nomination forms for the seats of legislators or councillors,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

NEC announced the schedule for releasing nomination forms for the seats of Members of Parliament and the Councillors between August 12 and 25 this year.<\/p>\n

The deputy minister acknowledged that NEC has done a lot in creating awareness and that the remaining task is a collective one, where everyone must ensure peace prevails in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical election campaigns haven\u2019t started, but I can assure you that the level of arrogance being displayed by politicians is too much,\u201d she said. \u201cI urge the commission to take instant action against such politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deputy minister, however, called upon the commission to raise a lot of awareness campaigns in rural communities by developing appropriate strategies, which fit across all races, age, education, income and sex.<\/p>\n

She said the nation is heading for an important decision-making stage that needs the nationals to come as one.<\/p>\n

In response, Education Officer from the National Electoral Commissioner Ms Johari Mitani assured the deputy minister that the commission is set to ensure this year\u2019s general elections are held free, fairly and peacefully.<\/p>\n

She said the commission updated the voters’ register, and provided public awareness and it is now set to issue nomination forms.<\/p>\n

She said currently the commission is adopting a variety of approaches to be connected within the general public in raising their awareness on the importance of a peaceful campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
