The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has urged candidates in the presidential and parliamentary elections to accept the verdict of Ghanaians when they decide on Decem­ber 7. "Politicians should always understand that Ghana is bigger than any individ­ual so we should throw our support to whoever is declared winner at the end of the day.

It is important we all ensure a peaceful election," Asantehene said.

According to the Asantehene "elec­tion is an avenue for insult and chaos but a contest of ideas".

He made the remarks when the Presi­dent, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, paid a courtesy call on him at the Man­hyia Palace, on Tuesday.
