Member of Parliament (MP) for Mampong and Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, has called on Ghanaians not to let religious biases influence their voting decisions in the upcoming December 7 general elections.
Speaking during a campaign event led by NPP’s running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, he urged the Christian community to dismiss any notion of rejecting Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia based on his religion.
Ampratwum-Sarpong emphasized that Bawumia’s faith should not become a point of division, noting Ghana’s long history of interfaith unity.
He reminded voters that although Bawumia is now a Muslim, he has a deep connection to Christianity, having practiced the faith earlier in life.
He urged Ghanaians to judge Bawumia on his competence and vision, rather than his religious background.
“Moreover, Christians and Muslims have always coexisted peacefully. Let’s not disturb that.”
