His nomination by the National Executive Committee of the Council was put to the council’s national delegates conference today.
The General Secretary of the council, Rev Emmanuel T. Barrigah who announced Rev. Prof. Frimpong-Manso’s nomination described him as an effective communicator, proactive and pragmatic leader, who was leading his church to lead do great things, especially an expansion drive.
With the nomination out of the way, the President of the council, Rev Prof Onyinah, led delegates to discuss the voting method which the delegates accepted to be voting by hand rather than by ballot.
In his acceptance speech, Rev. Prof. Frimpong-Manso said he was humbled by the confidence reposed in him.
“What I want from you is your prayer, support and encouragement. If we are united, we can move mountains,” he stated.
A date is yet to be set for the investiture of the new President.

The founding members of the council are The Christ Apostolic Church, the Apostolic Church, Church of Pentecost and the Assemblies of God Church.
