The Church made the call at a two-day ministerial meeting of pastors and their spouses at Agona Swedru.

It said the nation needed free, fair and peaceful elections to continue with its democratization process.

The Reverend John K. Napoleon Commey, Bishops Administrative Assistance of South Ghana Conference of AME Zion Church, appealed to the government to offer adequate financial support to Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct the elections devoid of violence.
