3- We cal on all political leaders and their faithful to ensure a peaceful election and to respect the electoral law as they go out to perform their civic responsibilities and also be reminded of the peace accord signed by the parties.
4- We also call on the electorates to go out enmasse and cast their votes and remain law abiding.
