The clergy must eschew partisan politics and election prophecies to help prevent tension in the country says the Secretary to the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Mrs Lucille Hewlett Annan.
According to her, the pulpit politics and election prophecies create tension that have the tendency to cause problems if not avoided.
Mrs Annan who represented the chairperson of the NCCE, Ms Kathleen Addy, said this at the 2nd consultative forum of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Western West Africa Episcopal District (WWAED) at Winneba in the Central Region yesterday.
The three-day event is on the theme "Election 2024: The role of the church in enhancing the electoral process and fostering peace", and being attended by about 600 participants including preachers, laymen and laywomen from across the country.
