2023: Parties should ensure religion-balanced tickets—Interfaith

Interfaith Coalition Conference, an Inter-religious group has called on all political parties to opt for a religious balanced ticket in the choice of a candidate’s running mate.

The group, which made the call, while addressing newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, said parties should discourage a situation where a contestant and running mate would be of the same religion.

The Co-Chairman, Interfaith Coalition Conference, Mr Daniel Kadzai, said the call for Muslim-Christian or Christian-Muslim ticket would bring about balance, equity and fairness in the democratic process of Nigeria.

Kadzai, who was the former National President, Youth Wing of Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), said that a balanced ticket would help manage the country’s diversity.
