PASTOR Joseph Sserwada, the senior pastor of Victory Church in Ndeeba Kampala, has been elected the head of the Born-again Faith Federation and bestowed with the title of apostle.
The elections, which were held on Thursday, were part of the federation’s convention that started on August 11 at Seroma Christian High School in Mukono district.
Sserwada was elected by over 2,000 born-again leaders. His appointment was announced by the federation’s public relations officer, Pastor Charles Tumwine.
Sserwada then appointed Pastor Julius Oyet as his deputy and promised to announce his executive within two weeks.
The executive also consists of regional leaders who were also elected. Bishop Kiwanuka Musisi, the senior pastor of Prayer Palace Church in Kibuye Kampala, was elected bishop-elect of the central region.
Most prominent Pentecostal leaders did not attend the convention since some churches are not members of the federation, the body that regulates activities of the born-again churches.
Sserwada had been head of the interterm committee which was formed in April last year. Prof. Simon Kayiwa, the federation’s legal counsel, guided the elections
The federation leaders urged the Government to ensure peaceful elections in 2011. They condemned the recent incidents of violence that marred the NRM primaries.
“We condemn all manner of election violence, especially as we approach the 2011 election time,†Sserwada said.
He asked the Electoral Commission to accord equal platform to all candidates and political parties.
