According to the News Review Team members, the pending election has so far heightened tension among the ten candidates that are vying for the said position and their supporters including family members of the respective ruling houses, noting the chiefdom can only be developed when love and peace prevail between and among the aforementioned categories of people.
The News Review Team members for the sake of peace strictly advised candidates for the said election especially those without the legal or biological right to contest the election to back out from the race as it is a recipe for unreasonable expenditures and unrest in the city of koidu and kono District as a whole.
