The Right Reverend Alfred Appiah Andam, Bishop of the Methodist Church of Ghana's Wenchi Diocese, has urged politicians to refrain from using foul language in their campaigns leading up to the general election of 2024.
He stated that, especially in the Techiman South Constituency, everything should be done to prevent the senseless fatalities that characterize the 2020 general election.
He warned the voters, in particular the youth, not to let themselves be swayed by politicians to cause mayhem before, during, and after the 2024 general election, saying, "There is no need for anybody to die because of an election."
Last Friday in Techiman, Ghana, the Rt. Rev. Andam gave a speech at the 20th annual synod of the Wenchi Diocese of the Methodist Church Ghana.
"Discipleship: Living the Transformed Life in Jesus Christ" served as the topic of the four-day synod.
Some administrative districts in the Bono and Bono East areas are part of the Wenchi Methodist Diocese, which was established 20 years ago following the separation of the Sunyani Diocese.
