Support constitutional amendment to fix voting day on Tuesday – Asiedu Nketiah urges SDA Church

He said fixing a weekday for national elections would help prevent recurring disputes between political parties, the Electoral Commission (EC) and religious groups whenever an election date coincided with an important day of worship.

National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church and other religious bodies to support a constitutional amendment to permanently fix Tuesdays for presidential and parliamentary elections.“I urge the leadership of the SDA Church and other religious bodies to push for this amendment to avoid needless arguments among political parties, the Electoral Commission and affected religious bodies whenever a voting day falls on the day of worship of any of the major religions in Ghana,” he said.
