Pentecostal Church of Christ Urges Political Unity Ahead of NPP 2026 Presidential Primaries
The Pentecostal Church of Christ has appealed for peace, maturity and unity within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the party prepares to hold its presidential primaries in January 2026 ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The call was made by the National Chairman of the Church, Apostle Dominic Nyamekye, during a media interaction at Asonomaso in the Kwabre East Municipality of the Ashanti Region, where the church also unveiled its theme for the year 2026.
Apostle Nyamekye expressed concern over growing internal divisions and increasing verbal attacks among supporters of various presidential aspirants within the NPP, warning that such conduct poses a threat to party unity and democratic stability.
According to him, experiences from previous elections have shown that disunity after internal primaries often results in apathy, resentment and withdrawal of support by dissatisfied party members, a situation he described as unhealthy for both the party and national development.
He urged party members and supporters to conduct their campaigns with discipline and respect, emphasizing that political competition must be guided by tolerance, mutual respect and a shared commitment to national progress.
The National Chairman further advised delegates to vote based on competence, leadership ability and the capacity of candidates to unite the party and effectively govern the country, rather than being influenced by financial inducements or personal interests.
Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the Pentecostal Church of Christ and Senior Pastor, Ordained Twum Berimah, used the occasion to remind leaders at all levels of society to uphold truth, responsibility and accountability as essential pillars for national development.
He explained that the church has declared 2026 as “Our Year of Faithful Stewardship,” a theme he said goes beyond the church and speaks to the conscience of the nation, including political leaders, government officials, traditional authorities and business operators.
Pastor Twum Berimah stressed that Ghana’s abundant natural resources, including gold, diamonds and other minerals, can only translate into meaningful development if entrusted into the hands of leaders who are faithful, transparent and sincere in the discharge of their duties.
He concluded by calling on all Ghanaians, particularly those in leadership positions, to act with integrity and a sense of responsibility, noting that faithful stewardship remains key to sustainable development and national cohesion.
