These spiritual leaders emphasised how crucial it is to protect the country from the polarising effects of religion politics as the 2024 elections approached.
In their capacity as the spiritual leaders of a country that takes great pride in its unity in diversity, the bishops pleaded for Ghanaians to put the country's welfare ahead of their political affiliations.
The bishops pleaded passionately that Ghanaians should not allow their common identity as a secular state—which recognises the freedom to practise any religion and join any political party—to be compromised. They addressed both the faithful and the general public. They said that maintaining the peace and unity of the nation depended on the sanctity of this constitutional norm.
Using their years of experience as a guide, the bishops cautioned against letting religious zeal polarise political discourse.
They emphasised that, as the country approaches a pivotal election, attention must remain centred on the thing that unites all Ghanaians: a shared dedication to the country's prosperity and togetherness.
The bishops skillfully crafted a case against religious prejudice in favour of a politics based on Ghana's collective wellbeing.
After their yearly plenary in Sunyani, they released a communiqué with their message.
