The chairperson of the Kumasi Ministers Conference, Pastor Ransford Obeng has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to reconsider its decision not to use indelible ink in the December 7 general elections.
Pastor Obeng stressed that engaging all political parties on such sensitive matters will help inspire confidence in the electoral process and ensure a peaceful exercise.
Speaking to journalists in Kumasi ahead of a three-day revival with Pastor Mensa Otabil, the founder and head pastor of Calvary Charismatic Centre, Pastor Obeng admonished the electoral commission to take decisions that all parties and individuals would be satisfied with.
“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 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 to 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 advised pastors to be careful of the prophecies they put out in the media space concerning the general election.
He encouraged pastors to keep mute on their revelations and only pray about them.
“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.
