Ho, Sept. 14, GNA - Togbe Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia of Asogli has cautioned stakeholders in the impending general election against making the polls a 'survival of the fittest contest'.
He said all must go by the country's constitution, which requires fairness.
Togbe Afede was addressing Volta Regional Executives and some members of Election Taskforce of the National Democratic Congress who called on him.
'We don't want Gabon here so we must give all players a level field,' he stated, and called on the political parties to shun tribal politics and unite the populace for peace and development.
Togbe Afede observed that insults are gradually characterising the election campaign and said the development was due to selfish interest of politicians.
'Because of their intent to short change the country, they insult and fight to win at all cost to enrich themselves. They have forgotten that leadership is call to service,' he said.
Togbe Afede also expressed concern about 'winner takes all' politics, saying it is not creating opportunity for all, with a few politicians getting all contracts and jobs, stifling initiatives of citizens.
He said politics is not an end in itself and asked politicians to use the platform to bring development and happiness to the citizenry. GNA
