Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, a prominent Ghanaian pastor, has declared that former President John Dramani Mahama will win the upcoming 2024 presidential election. During a meeting with Mahama and other clergy members on October 1, 2024, Rev. Owusu-Bempah stated, “Because of your kind-heartedness, God has handed over the country to you, and nothing can change it.”
This pronouncement has garnered significant attention in Ghana, where religious leaders often influence public opinion. Rev. Owusu-Bempah’s endorsement may impact voter perceptions, especially among his congregation and followers.
Owusu-Bempah has a history of making political prophecies, and his pronouncement has generated significant attention, given his influence among certain religious and political circles in Ghana. His endorsement of Mahama could resonate with portions of the electorate who consider religious prophecies as part of their political decision-making process.
However, such declarations are often controversial, especially in a politically charged environment like Ghana, where both major political parties—NDC and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)—are preparing for a highly competitive election. Would you like to dive deeper into the political landscape surrounding the 2024 elections or the impact of religious figures in Ghanaian politics?
John Mahama, who served as President from 2012 to 2017, is the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the forthcoming elections. The current President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is expected to seek re-election. Rev. Owusu-Bempah’s declaration adds an interesting dimension to the political landscape as the nation prepares for the 2024 polls.
