The Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International (ACI), Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, has called on all stakeholders in Ghana’s electoral process to ensure a peaceful election in 2024.
He emphasised the importance of maintaining peace before, during, and after the elections, thereby avoiding a situation where Ghanaians might be forced to seek refuge in other countries.
He highlighted that despite the hardships and suffering in the country, Ghanaians would rather remain in Ghana than become refugees elsewhere.

The respected man of God urged all involved to prioritise peace and stability to safeguard the nation's future.
Archbishop Duncan Williams made this appeal during a meeting with the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, and members of the Christian Ecumenical Council in Accra on Monday, May 20.
He stressed the critical role of all political and religious leaders in fostering a peaceful electoral environment.
In his address, Duncan Williams underscored that the desire for a peaceful election is a collective responsibility, urging all Ghanaians to contribute to a harmonious and secure electoral process.
“There is too much pain and suffering in this country. All our doctors and nurses are leaving this country. And we just pray that things will be well handled and managed with transparency and fairness so that we will not end up being refugees in any other country.
“Because without proper fairness, honesty, and transparency, things may fall out of hand. And may I say this, that nobody should think that the Ghanaian is very gentle, I don’t like trouble human being, it is not true," he stated.
