Prophet Emmanuel Worlasi stirred controversy during a live broadcast on Asempa FM, where he confidently predicted victory for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to the prophet, his declaration was based not on political loyalty but on what he described as divine insight.
He asserted that Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, another leading aspirant, had been spiritually rejected, claiming that the land and natural forces themselves were opposed to his victory.
In a dramatic moment that quickly attracted attention, Prophet Worlasi stated that he was prepared to be held accountable if his prophecy failed to materialize.
The remarks immediately triggered debate among listeners and political observers.
While some callers praised the prophet’s certainty, others criticized the extreme language he used, particularly comments interpreted as endorsing harm.
The issue also sparked strong reactions on social media, with many urging religious figures to act responsibly when addressing politically sensitive matters.
Analysts note that the incident highlights the growing influence of prophecy and religion in Ghana’s political discourse.
They caution that while spiritual beliefs are widely respected, inflammatory rhetoric risks heightening tensions and diverting attention from policy and democratic decision-making.
As the NPP primaries draw closer, both major campaigns continue to focus on delegate engagement, with observers emphasizing that the final verdict rests solely with the ballot, not prophecy.
