The current leadership of Seventh-Day Adventist Church DO NOT have any solid grounds to demand for the change of date for this year 2024 general election due to the following facts:
- In 1996, the general election was conducted on Saturday, 7th December.
The SDA Church did not opposed to the date at that time. They fully voted on that day.
- In 2008, the general election was conducted on Sunday, 7th December.
All Christians who worship on Sundays fully voted on that day.
- In 2012, the general election was conducted on Friday, 7th December.
All Muslims of the various Islamic Sects vote on that day.
2024 is NOT the first time a general election would be conducted by the Electoral Commission on Religious Worshipping Days.
Moreover, Ghana is a Secular State not a Jewish State.
