The General Overseer of the Perez Chapel has highlighted 10 commitments that the governing New Patriotic Party and opposition National Democratic Congress must make as the country prepares for the 2020 general election.
Bishop Charles Agyinasare, in his national transformation on Sunday, said these commitments, when carried out, will be in the interest of the people.
According to him, the campaign of the two major political parties must be people-oriented in order for the parties to obtain the votes of the electorate.
Listing the commitments, Bishop Agyinasare said:
Deliver to us a civil service that is non-partisan and will not be afraid when government change.
