No one should dare play games with the NDC and the people of Ghana,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>However, during the 13th Annual Night of Power in the holy month of Ramadan at Parliament, Dr Bawumia, the NPP Flagbearer, highlighted the responsibility of political actors to ensure that properties and lives are not harmed during the elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo property should be destroyed, and no relationship should be ruined because of differences in our political views. No single life should be lost because of the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllah has told us in Qur\u2019an chapter 3 verse 26 that \u2018Sovereignty and power belongs to Allah. He gives sovereignty and power to whom He wills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Christian faith similarly shares the same view.
