Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams of Action Chapel International delivered a sermon on Sunday, July 7, 2024, emphasizing the critical importance of Ghana’s upcoming 2024 elections.
He called upon all stakeholders, including the major political parties like the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to ensure that the electoral process reflects the genuine will of the Ghanaian people.
Expressing concerns about the potential consequences of any attempt to manipulate or undermine the election results, Archbishop Duncan-Williams cautioned against actions that could lead to unrest similar to what has been observed in other nations. He urged both political parties to respect democratic principles and avoid tactics that could subvert the electorate’s wishes.
In his address, he highlighted the significance of the 2024 elections in shaping Ghana’s democratic future and warned against any form of electoral malpractice. He stressed the need for transparency and integrity among electoral officials, warning of severe consequences for those who attempt to compromise the electoral process for personal gain.
The Archbishop underscored that the peaceful and fair conduct of the 2024 elections is crucial for Ghana’s democratic credibility and urged all parties to uphold the sanctity of the electoral process.
“Someone spoke to me about what is happening in Kenya, and I said that what you see happening in Kenya, there is a possibility in the pipeline, but it’s an undercurrent with the youth. It is around 2025 going forward that you will see it.
“Depending on the outcome of the election and how people win the 2024 elections. If anybody tries to break or play any games on both sides to win this election and disrespect the will and vote of the people and sabotage the will of the people, Ghana will be shocked. People will be shocked that it is the same Ghanaians who are quiet and loving people and don’t want trouble.
“Both political parties should listen to me; if anybody tries to use conspiracies, spirituality, or any means other than respecting the will of the people, the implications will be unbearable. Those who take money to manipulate things for somebody to win the elections against the will of the people, there will be implications. If there’s any election in the history of the country that we shouldn’t play with, then it’s the 2024 election. It is a test of our democratic credentials,” he said.
