In a powerful and dramatic display during a recent sermon, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams invoked the “angel of death” to strike those who may be planning to rig the upcoming 2024 elections in Ghana. The respected religious leader, known for his fiery preaching style and influence both in Ghana and internationally, left his congregation and many viewers stunned with the bold pronouncement, as he called for divine justice against any individual or group involved in electoral malpractice.
Addressing the congregation with passion, Duncan-Williams warned against any attempts to subvert the democratic process in the forthcoming elections. He expressed concerns over the possibility of scheming and manipulation behind the scenes, with individuals or parties potentially trying to rig the election in their favor. In response to these concerns, the Archbishop called upon what he referred to as the “angel of death” to intervene and thwart such plans, issuing a stern spiritual warning to those who may be involved.
His invocation quickly gained traction across social media, with clips of the sermon spreading widely and sparking intense debate. Supporters of the Archbishop applauded his call for divine intervention, viewing it as a necessary action to protect the integrity of the electoral process. Others, however, found the language of invoking the “angel of death” to be extreme, questioning whether it was an appropriate message from a religious leader.
Duncan-Williams has long been a vocal figure in matters of national importance, often blending his religious teachings with commentary on social and political issues. His latest sermon comes at a time when the political climate in Ghana is heating up ahead of the 2024 general elections, and tensions surrounding electoral fairness are rising. By calling for divine punishment against election riggers, the Archbishop has placed himself at the center of the ongoing conversation about free and fair elections in the country.
Public Reactions
As expected, the Archbishop’s remarks have sparked a wide range of reactions. Some political figures and activists have voiced their support, echoing his concerns about election rigging and calling for vigilance. On the other hand, critics argue that such pronouncements could incite fear or cause unnecessary tension as the elections draw closer.
Regardless of the mixed opinions, one thing is clear: Duncan-Williams’ powerful sermon has added another layer to the conversation surrounding the integrity of Ghana’s upcoming elections.
