The political debate surrounding the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming presidential primaries has taken an unexpected spiritual turn following bold comments by Prophet Emmanuel Worlasi. Speaking live on Asempa FM during a programme hosted by journalist Osei Bonsu, Prophet Worlasi asserted that former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has already been chosen to win the party’s flagbearer race.
The prophet made headlines when he claimed that nature, the land, and the spiritual realm have rejected Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, one of the party’s key aspirants. “If Kennedy Agyapong wins this election, I urge his team to burn me,” Prophet Worlasi said, emphasizing that he was speaking with absolute spiritual certainty.
He maintained that his declaration was not influenced by political bias but was a result of what he described as a clear spiritual revelation. “Even the land and the forest themselves, Mother Ghana, have rejected Kennedy Agyapong. The decision has already been made spiritually. Bawumia has been elected,” he added.
Prophet Worlasi further suggested that attempts to sway delegates or manipulate the outcome of the primaries would be futile, framing the contest as one already determined beyond human control.
The comments, broadcast live on radio, drew immediate public attention and a mix of reactions. Some listeners expressed support for the prophet’s claims, while others criticized his extreme language and the reference to personal harm. Social media users also engaged in debate, calling on religious leaders to exercise caution and responsibility when making pronouncements on politically sensitive matters.
Political analysts note that the incident underscores the growing intersection of religion and politics in Ghana’s democratic landscape. They caution that while spiritual beliefs remain influential in society, sensational rhetoric can escalate tensions and distract from policy-focused discussions ahead of elections.
The NPP is set to hold its presidential primaries this Saturday, with multiple aspirants competing for the party’s ticket for the 2028 general elections. Prophet Worlasi’s claims are likely to add another layer of controversy to an already charged campaign period.
