Dr. Ebenezer Gyamera Inducted as GPCC General Secretary as IGP Yohuno Receives 2026 Democracy Cup

The past week has been characterized by significant transitions and administrative updates across Ghana’s religious, sporting, and public service sectors. In a major move for the nation’s faith-based leadership, the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) officially inducted Dr. Ebenezer Gyamera as its new General Secretary. The ceremony, held in Accra on Saturday, August 22, saw Dr. Gyamera, a seasoned pastor of The Apostolic Church-Ghana, succeed Apostle Immanuel N. O. Tettey. GPCC President Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye highlighted the induction as a cornerstone for maintaining moral leadership and Christian unity, while Dr. Gyamera pledged to work collaboratively to advance the council’s mission following Apostle Tettey’s successful four-year tenure.

Parallel to these religious developments, the Ghana Police Service received high-level recognition through the lens of national sports and democracy. On August 25, 2026, a parliamentary delegation led by Clerk Ebenezer Djietror presented the 2026 Democracy Cup to the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno. The presentation, held at the Police Headquarters in Accra, serves as a symbolic precursor to the upcoming high-stakes football match between rivals Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak. This engagement underscored the ongoing partnership between the legislature and security agencies in promoting national peace and celebrating democratic milestones through the unifying power of sports.

Amidst these celebrations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been addressing critical infrastructure challenges to ensure the continuity of essential public services. The Ministry announced that the online passport application portal has been experiencing temporary technical difficulties, affecting the ability of citizens to apply for or process travel documents. To resolve these issues, the Ministry’s technical team has been working closely with the National Signals Bureau. While the Ministry has apologized for the service disruptions, officials have assured the public that they are working toward a swift resolution and will provide updates as soon as the system is fully restored. Together, these events reflect a period of institutional renewal and the persistent efforts to maintain stable public administration and community leadership.
