The chairperson of the Kumasi Ministers Conference, Pastor Ransford Obeng, has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to reconsider its decision to not use indelible ink in the December 7 general elections.
Emphasising the importance of involving all political parties in discussions on such sensitive matters, Pastor Obeng expressed that such consultations would instill confidence in the electoral process and contribute to a peaceful exercise.
Addressing journalists in Kumasi ahead of a three-day revival with Pastor Mensa Otabil, the founder and head pastor of Calvary Charismatic Centre, Pastor Obeng advised the electoral commission to make decisions that would garner satisfaction from all parties and individuals.
“What I want to encourage the EC is that they should sit down with the political parties. That is all that I want to tell them, because whatever we have been doing and how it is working for us, we don’t have to remove it. You only add to it; you don’t change anything that has helped you conduct elections successfully.
“It is anything that brings problems that you change. If it has not brought any problems, we should not change it,” he said.
Pastor Ransford Obeng also offered advice to pastors, urging them to exercise caution when sharing prophecies in the media regarding the general election.
He emphasised the importance of pastors maintaining discretion about their revelations and suggested that they should choose to pray privately rather than publicise their prophetic insights.
“I think that if you are a prophet and God reveals to you who is going to win, it will be wise not to say it so that you keep it to yourself. you can talk to your small group but to publicise it, I don’t encourage it because it brings all kinds of things. So you should use wisdom,” he added.
