Ho, Oct. 13, GNA – Students from OLA, Mawuli, and Mawuko Girls Senior High Schools (SHSs) in Ho, have appealed to politicians to ensure that this year’s election is free from violence.

They also urged them to conduct their campaign based on ideas devoid of insults and acrimony, knowing that Ghana is the only country we have.
