SDA Church Solicits Support Of Chief Imam For Change In Date Of 2024 General Elections

Leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ghana on March 11, 2023, met with the National Chief Imam, His Eminence Alhaji (Dr) Osman Nuhu Sharubutu to solicit his support for a proposed change to the election calendar.

The Church is requesting the Electoral Commission to consider the first Tuesday of November or the first Tuesday of December as the new election day for Ghana.
In a letter to the Electoral Commission, the Church said the proposed change “will avert December 7 occurring on worship days among the popular religions of Ghana – Christianity and Islam.”
The Chief Imam pledged his support for the proposal, saying its success will ensure that the holy days of the major religions will be respected.

The Church delegation was made up of the President of the Northern Ghana Union Conference, Pastor Kwame Annor Boahene, the Executive Secretary of the Southern Ghana Union, Pastor Chris Annan-Nunoo, the Group CEO of GOIL, Hon. Kwame Osei Prempeh, the Religious Liberty Director, Dr. Solace Asafo and a Religious Liberty Advocate, Dr. Kwabena Bonfeh.
