The Presiding Bishop of Perez Chapel International, Bishop Charles Agyinasare has encouraged the Electoral Commission to be impartial and the worthy referee of the upcoming general elections in order to ensure peace.
On Sunday, August 16, 2020, Bishop Agyinasare praised the EC for employing the services of officers with experience and technical-know-how for the conducting of the just-ended new voters’ ID registration exercise. He said, “the registration officers, too, as long as prospective registrants proved they were Ghanaians, duly registered them, noting; they were very professional”. They were able to register about 16.9 million people.
He continued that, “The hard part of what the EC has to do going into our election is validating the register. We pray that they would be an impartial referee and not remove names of people they think are not Ghanaians, because I know Ghanaians who are called John Williams, which looks very foreign”.
He urged the EC to ensure that they do not “mismatch pictures with names”. He prayed that God would instill the hearts the EC and its team the Fear of God so they would be impartial in the elections and be divinely protected during such a high-tension period.
As we draw nearer and nearer to the December 7, 2020 polls, Bishop Agyinasare appealed to the Commander of the Army and the Leaders of various National Security Agencies that they show us “…better professionalism than what was displayed…” by some of their staff during the registration exercise. He stated that we are not at war and so we must, as a country, move past the yearly ritual where churches and their pastors have to “…pray, have all nights and preach about peace for our elections”.
“May God give us a transformed Ghana in Jesus’ name”, he added.
