In Ghana, spiritual predictions play a significant role in shaping public discourse ahead of elections. Before the nation goes to the polls every four years, several pastors and self-proclaimed men of God publicly foretell the outcome of elections.

These predictions, however, are often contradictory, with different pastors claiming to have received divergent messages from the same God.

During the 2024 general elections in Ghana, over ten pastors made predictions regarding the outcome, but about five of them had their prophecies proven wrong.

One such pastor, Prophet Paul Kusi Appiah, founder of Nyametease Ampa Prayer Ministry in Kumasi, became a subject of public ridicule after boldly declaring that Kennedy Agyapong, former Member of Parliament for Assin Central and an NPP presidential aspirant, would fail to secure even 30% of the votes in the party's primary in 2024.

He went further to claim that if Agyapong crossed that threshold, he was not a true man of God.

This prophecy failed spectacularly, as Kennedy Agyapong secured over 30% of the votes in the NPP presidential primary, even though he eventually lost to the then Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Prophet Appiah had also prophesied a win for Dr Bawumia and his running mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, in the 2024 general elections, claiming he had even seen the attire they would wear during their inauguration on January 7, 2025.

That prediction also failed, as the National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by John Dramani Mahama, convincingly won the 2024 election.

As the 2028 general elections draw closer, several prominent figures within the NPP have declared their intention to lead the party back to power.

These include Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, former Minister of Education; Bryan Acheampong, Member of Parliament for Abetifi; Boakye Agyarko, and the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.

As the NPP prepares for its presidential primary scheduled for January 2026, some pastors have boldly prophesied the outcome of the contest.

So far, most of the spiritual predictions have favoured the two frontrunners, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong.

Prophecies in favour of Kennedy Agyapong

Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun



The General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, predicted that Kennedy Agyapong would become the NPP flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.

In a Facebook post dated May 3, 2025, Prophet ElBernard recounted a vision in which he saw intense internal deliberations among party elites who initially doubted Agyapong's leadership capabilities.

Despite this, a strong youth movement emerged in support of Agyapong, eventually compelling the party establishment to back him.

"I will see a group of passionate young people who have embraced the vision and message of Kennedy Agyapong... Some will even leave their former parties, seeing their future in his leadership," he wrote.

"In the conclusion of the vision, I will witness Kennedy Ohene Agyapong elected as the flagbearer of the party. A new movement will emerge, one that brings renewed strength, unity, and energy to the New Patriotic Party."

Prophecies in favour of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia

Prophet Emmanuel Worlasi



Head Pastor of Conquerors Chapel International (Kumasi Branch), Prophet Emmanuel Worlasi, has also predicted a win for Dr Bawumia in the January 2026 NPP primaries.

In an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb, Prophet Worlasi stated that Bawumia would win "convincingly" and that nothing could stop it.

"Dr Bawumia is going to win the primaries convincingly. Nothing can change it. Listen to the word: convincingly. A lot of people are prophesying, but let's give time a chance; time will tell," he said.

"God is still speaking, and everybody should remember; we see in parts and we prophesy in parts."

Prophet William Braham



Renowned man of God, Prophet William Braham, has advised the NPP to re-elect Dr Bawumia as their presidential candidate for the 2028 general elections.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, he stated, "In the spirit realm, what God opened my eyes to see is that Dr Bawumia will lead the NPP again. He will emerge the victor."

He warned the party against making a wrong decision at this critical juncture, cautioning that any deviation from this divine revelation could spell political doom for the NPP.

"The NPP currently stands at a place that any wrong decision they make at this time, they are dead and gone forever... I see that any decision they will make now is a do-or-die affair."

Prophet Paul Kusi Appiah



Despite his previous failed predictions, Prophet Paul Kusi Appiah has once again prophesied a win for Dr Bawumia, both in the upcoming NPP primaries and in the 2028 general elections.

Addressing his congregation, he said, "This time, Dr Bawumia will win the upcoming primaries. And he will win the 2028 general elections.

"I'm telling you, 2028 is not going to fail again. Bawumia will win the election. Anybody who contests him from the NDC will lose."
