Ensure free, fair and transparent
election – EC urged
Agona Swedru, March 24, Ghanadot/GNA - The Right Reverend
Moses Archer, President of the Sacred Action Church, has
appealed to the Electoral Commission and other state
institutions to ensure a clean, fair and transparent general
election to consolidate democracy.
He said election fraud could spark off violence and chaos
that could erode the micro economic stability the nation had
enjoyed in the past seven years and this would create
economic hardship for the people.
Rt. Rev. Archer said this at a four-day Easter Convention of
the Church at Agona Swedru in the Central Region.
He urged Ghanaians to make the country peaceful to promote
socio-economic advancement.
Rt. Rev. Archer said the election would be won by one
political party and asked the other parties to accept the
results in good faith.
He stressed the need for all to conduct their campaign on
issues instead of tarnishing the image of their opponents
through ridicule and insults that would not bring peace and
harmony.
Rt. Rev. Archer said God had already chosen the person who
would rule the country and appealed to supporters of
political parties to desist from acts that would create
problems for the country.
Rev Ackah Cobbina, Deputy General Secretary of the Church,
said the Youth Ministry of the church had embarked on a
programme to educate the public on the policies and
programmes of the state such as HIV/AIDS and the National
Health Insurance Scheme.
