“This is a timely intervention; the community has a responsibility to mobilize community members to uphold peace ahead of the 2023 elections. It is our wish that this campaign is taken to other provinces. We want peace to prevail before, during and after elections”

Village heads must desist from partisan politics and closing political space on behalf of any political actors.

This campaign is important, it encourages family unity and relations that bind most rural communities and that no political affiliation must break the unity of the community

“It is encouraging that ahead of elections the environment is peaceful and there is high degree of tolerance in the area”

“We have been reaching out to people to exercise peace and tolerance and it is encouraging that we have peace gardens where we gather all villagers to preach the gospel of peace. We have also targeted the youth in these programmes.”

“There is need for communities to live in harmony and peace even when we chose our leaders in the forthcoming elections so that when the process is over, we can continue to live in congruence as communities. There is no need to hate someone for believing in different ideologies hence we need to respect and tolerate each other beyond this electoral period,”
