A group of elders, leaders, and committed members of the Christian Divine Church (CDC) have held a press conference to expose what they allege to be a coordinated and illegal attempt to subvert the church's leadership.

The group accused a faction, led by a group of pastors, of hijacking the church's leadership through force and deception, culminating in the declaration of an illegally constituted leadership.

According to Elder Ekow Dadzie, Regional Secretary for Western Region C and spokesperson for the group, the crisis began in October 2024 when the church's leadership issued a letter calling for elections.

Despite a court-ordered roadmap to peacefully organise the leadership elections, the faction disregarded the agreement and held an illegal election.
