            Apostle Joshua E. A Kumi, Head of Holy Mizpah Church, Majesty Prayer Centre, and newfangled - Centre of Hope U.K, Peace Ambassador 2016/2017, expressed his gratitude for such an appointment as a peace ambassador for Centre of Hope, U.K and promised to foster unity in the country during this election period. “I will go to every part of the country and preach peace without any hesitations”, he announced. Finally, he urged all Ghanaians to be tolerance as democracy is just expressions of opinion, hence Ghanaians should refrain from personalizing their arguments which can cause muddles.  

      Finally, James Kojo Boateng Mensah, member of Action Chapel, Tema, Guest Speaker, posited that, Ghana needs the hands of God in the electoral system, to prevent the election of wrong people as wrong leaders will put the country in crisis. “It is the spiritual realm that controls the physical realm, and 95% of politicians have been surrounded by occultism, hence Christians have to pray fervently for the right leader”, he revealed. He further urged all men of God to minimize the prophecies about the outcome of the election which can cause problems; hence they should be patient with their God - given gifts till the appointed time.
