Social commentator Dr James Kwabena Bonfeh popularly known as Kabila has hinted of a possible change in the voting pattern of the SDA Church in the forthcoming general polls.
The Church will be fully involved in the elections in December, he said. Since the Seventh Day Adventist Church considers Saturday, the day of fellowship, to be sacred, they abstain from all physical labor.
While speaking on Ade Akye Abia program with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, Kabila said the Church has been instrumental in advocating for a peaceful election and is certain the Church will participate in the polls.
He also commended the Police Service in maintaining law and order during the build-up to this year’s elections.
The SDA Church has never been in support of involving themselves during elections on their sacred days since it does not align with their religious beliefs. The SDA Church does not preach against voting nor has it admonished their members not to vote.
The Church called on the Electoral Commission to change the date of the elections. As the December 7, 2024, election approaches, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ghana continues to advocate for a date change that would respect the religious practices of its members and other Sabbath observers.
