Bawumia Will Never Be President, Banish Me If He Wins — Prophet Iddrisu Backs Mahama For 2028

According to a report by Ghanaian citizen TV on Saturday October 10, 2026, Prophet Thomas Iddrisu has made a strong political declaration about Ghana’s 2028 presidential election, insisting that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will never become President of the Republic of Ghana.

The man of God reportedly made the statement during a church service attended by President John Dramani Mahama, where he openly expressed his desire to see the incumbent president re-elected in the next general election.

In a bold remark that has drawn attention to the intersection of religion and politics, Prophet Iddrisu declared that Dr Bawumia would never occupy Ghana’s highest political office.

He went further by invoking the traditional authority of chiefs, saying he should be banished from their land if the former vice president ever becomes president.

“Dr. Bawumia will never become Ghana’s President. If he ever does, the chiefs should banish me from their land. I want Mahama re-elected in 2028,” the prophet declared.

His comments directly addressed the political contest expected to shape Ghana’s next presidential election, with President Mahama and Dr Bawumia associated with the country’s two major political parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), respectively.

Prophet Iddrisu’s declaration also amounted to an open expression of support for President Mahama’s continued leadership beyond his current term.

By publicly calling for the president’s re-election, the clergyman made his political preference clear during the president’s visit to his church.

The remarks are likely to attract discussion among supporters of the two political parties, particularly as political conversations surrounding the 2028 election continue to develop.

While the NDC will seek to retain power under Mahama’s leadership, the NPP will be looking to return to government following its defeat in the 2024 general election.

Dr Bawumia, who served as vice president under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, remains a prominent figure in the NPP’s political landscape.

President Mahama, meanwhile, returned to the presidency after winning the December 2024 election.

Prophet Iddrisu’s statement reflects his personal political position and his confidence in the outcome he wants to see in 2028. However, the final decision will rest with Ghanaian voters when they go to the polls.

As the next election approaches, declarations by religious leaders and other influential public figures may become part of the broader national conversation about leadership, political competition and the direction of the country.

The prophet’s comments have placed his views on the political future of Mahama and Bawumia in the spotlight, although his prediction remains an opinion rather than an established outcome.

Ghana’s electoral process will ultimately determine who earns the mandate to lead the country after the 2028 general election.
