The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ghana says it has accepted the decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) to consider changing the national election date from December 7 to a working day in November starting from 2028.
The Church in January petitioned the Electoral Commission for an amendment to the December 7 elections.
However, after broader consultations, the EC stated that its proposal to move the date for general elections from December 7 to November will not take effect this year.
Communication Spokesperson for the church, Dr. Solace Yawa Asafo in a statement on February 20 thanked EC for the willingness to accommodate this significant adjustment in the future.
“This development is a testament to the spirit of dialogue and mutual respect that characterizes Ghana’s democratic landscape,” the statement read.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church reaffirmed its dedication to productive discussions with all parties involved to foster a democratic environment that respects the varied religious landscape of Ghana.
