Gbarnga, Bong County – Jorquelleh District Paramount Chief Mary Larteh on Friday urged young people not to allow politicians to use them to instigate violence during and after the run-off election. “You are too precious to be used as scapegoat,” Larteh said during a one-day Presidential-election-focused Community Media Forum organized by Internews. The run-off election was put on hold after the Liberty Party complained about fraud and irregularities during the Oct. 10, 2017 elections. At the Gbarnga forum, Larteh called on young people to encourage their peers to talk about issues surrounding the elections, not resort to violence. The forum encouraged her to promote non-violence during the run-off election.
