Owusu Bempah Vows To Quit Church If Bawumia Wins 2028 Elections

Apostle Dr. Isaac Owusu Bempah has triggered widespread political discussion after making a controversial statement about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s chances of becoming Ghana’s president in the 2028 general elections. The founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries International reportedly made the declaration during a Sunday sermon, according to a report shared by OMGVoice on Facebook.

Owusu Bempah, who has historically been associated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), reportedly told his congregation that he would stop worshipping God if Bawumia became president. The statement has attracted attention because of the prophet’s longstanding involvement in Ghana’s religious and political affairs.

The clergyman was previously regarded by some as a prominent spiritual supporter of the NPP and had been known for praying for party figures and predicting electoral victories. His latest remarks have therefore prompted questions about his position and what might have influenced the apparent shift in his public stance.

The declaration also comes as the NPP prepares for its internal contest to select a flagbearer for the 2028 presidential election. Bawumia remains one of the prominent figures associated with the race, although the party has yet to complete its selection process.

Owusu Bempah’s comments have generated differing reactions. Some critics argue that religious leaders should avoid using their pulpits for partisan political messaging, while others may interpret his statement as an expression of personal or spiritual conviction.

There has not been a widely reported response from Bawumia’s supporters regarding the remarks. However, the statement could intensify discussions within the party, particularly among grassroots members and religious supporters.

As preparations for the next election gradually develop, Owusu Bempah’s declaration adds another point of controversy to the NPP’s internal political debate. Its eventual impact on the party’s leadership contest and Bawumia’s prospects remains uncertain.
