The Ethnic Relations Commission, (ERC), condemns the unacceptable conduct of purported supporters of contesting political parties over the past few days, which have resulted in heated confrontations in different parts of the country, such as at Wismar and Non Pareil.
The Commission is calling on political leaders to urge their supporters to immediately stop and reject any inclination by their supporters to taunt, confront and intimidate others of opposing sides.
The ERC is engaging political leaders on those developments and its proposed Code of Conduct as well.
The ERC said that under the Laws of Guyana, campaigning by political parties during the elections period is allowed, but wants citizens and supporters to reject outright all attempts at provocation, and instead concentrate on issues being put forward by the candidates.
The ERC will continue to monitor the political campaigns with vigilance and play its role in promoting harmony, good relations and peace in our society.
