The Alliance for Christian Advocacy Africa (ACAA), a faith-based organisation, has entreated church leaders to provide pastoral care for losing candidates in the December 7 general election.
“We are calling on church leaders to provide pastoral care for politicians even after the elections. We must still journey with them and help them in the hurt. Some are grieving, and yet we leave them alone,” the Executive Director of the alliance, Rev. Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, made the call in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Accra over the weekend.
About 100 pastors from the ACAA were accredited by the Electoral Commission (EC) as domestic election observers and deployed in eight out of the 16 regions to observe the elections.
