The Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has criticized the Independent Presidential aspirant Alan Kyerematen for his comment that Ghana, with a Christian majority, should elect a Christian leader as president in 2024.
Mr Kyerematen made his pronouncement while speaking at the Church of Pentecost’s Easter Sunday Convention at the Dr Thomas Wyatt Assembly.
“As a predominantly Christian nation, as Christians, it is our responsibility that we elect a Christian leader who is also a Christlike leader,” he stated while touting himself as the man to transform the country.
He added “If God touches your heart and you vote for Alan Kyerematen, the transformative leader, then I can assure you, as our Lord Jesus did on the cross, promise that ye shall be in paradise with him; you shall also be in paradise when I come into power.”
But in a post on his X platform reacting to this, Frank Annoh-Dompreh who is also lawmaker for Nsawam Adaogyiri said “This is backwards, terrible & and ugly, to say the least.
“The NPP has truly ‘suffered’ in bearing & tolerating you over the years. Show me one country globally who has succeeded by using your theory. Alan is clearly not relevant in our ‘modern’ body politics!..bow in shame!.”
