He consequently urged men to make room for women to pursue political office.
“Believe in yourselves because you are a useful asset to the nation.
Our politics cannot succeed with men alone, so we need to allow women to play an active role and participate in the local elections because politics is not only about the presidential and parliamentary elections.
It is more important than you think,” he said.
Apostle Amponsah-Frimpong made the comments at the Southern Sector thanksgiving service to climax the 2023 edition of the seven-day Prophetic Convention in Accra.
The convention brought together thousands of church faithful within the southern sector of the CACI to experience the outpour of the Holy Spirit.
Prior to the convention, the church had led congregants through its newly inducted Executive Council to launch the celebration of the 100 years of the physical descent and manifestation of the Holy Spirit at Anum-Asamankese in the Eastern Region.
The church is set to replicate the 2023 Prophetic Convention in the northern sector from Monday, September 11 to Sunday, September 17, 2023, at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology on the theme: “Led by the Pillar of Fire (Exodus 13:21)”.
