The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Ghana urges members to ensure their decisions on the election day align with their beliefs.
This follows the church’s request for the government to change the election date from Saturday, 7th December 2024, as it conflicts with their religious practices.
“The leadership of the church has consistently advocated for an election date change to accommodate members religious observance. The church’s efforts were based on our belief that moving the election day away from Saturday would allow all citizens, regardless of faith to participate fully in the democratic process.”
“The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Ghana respects the right of its members to vote. However, on the matter of voting on Saturday, we urge members to prayerfully ensure that their decisions are consistent with the Adventist belief on the sanctity of the sabbath,” the church wrote.
