Bawumia Will Never Become Ghana’s President – Prophet Thomas Iddrisu Declares, 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 the future of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, insisting that the former Vice President will never become Ghana’s President while openly expressing his support for President John Dramani Mahama’s re-election bid in 2028.

The prophet made the remarks during President Mahama’s visit to his church, where he reportedly used the occasion to state his position on Ghana’s political future and the next presidential election.

In a statement that has drawn attention because of its emphatic tone, Prophet Iddrisu declared: “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.”

His comments reflect his firm opposition to the possibility of Dr Bawumia becoming President and his preference for Mahama to secure another term in office in the 2028 general election.

Dr Bawumia, who served as Vice President under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, remains a prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Ghanaian politics.

His presidential ambitions have made him a central figure in discussions about the country’s next electoral contest.

President Mahama, on the other hand, returned to office following the 2024 general election and is expected to face intense political scrutiny as the country moves towards the next polls scheduled for 2028.

Prophet Iddrisu’s declaration has added a religious dimension to the ongoing political conversation, particularly regarding the role of faith leaders in expressing their political preferences and views about national leadership.

Religious leaders in Ghana frequently attract public attention when they comment on political developments, especially during periods leading up to general elections.

Their statements can generate debate among supporters of different political parties, given the influence churches and other religious institutions have in many communities.

However, Prophet Iddrisu’s remarks represent his personal political position and do not, on their own, establish the outcome of the 2028 presidential election. The eventual result will be determined by voters through the constitutional electoral process.

His declaration in favour of Mahama’s re-election is likely to generate reactions from supporters of both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the NPP as political discussions surrounding the next election continue.

The comments were reportedly made during President Mahama’s visit to the prophet’s church, although further details about the visit and the circumstances surrounding the declaration were not provided in the available account.
