NDC clutching on prophecies after losing political grounds-Atta Kyea
The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South Constituency in the Eastern Region, Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, has criticized the National Democratic Congress for losing touch with political realities, claiming the party can no longer rally traditional political support and has instead turned to spiritual gatherings.
Addressing a charged crowd at Asiakwa during the New Patriotic Party running mate's tour of the constituency, Mr Atta Akyea dismissed recent prophecies from religious figures predicting an NDC victory, calling them mere human predictions rather than divine declarations.
He urged Ghanaians not to place too much importance on such prophecies, reminding them that elections are decided by the will of the people through the ballot box, not through spiritual proclamations.
"Elections are determined by the people’s votes, not by the words of prophets," he said.
He emphasized that political discourse should centre on the issues most important to Ghanaians—such as the economy, education, and infrastructure—urging political parties to focus on substantive plans for the country’s future rather than relying on spiritual interventions.
Mr Atta Akyea also criticized a specific prophet who, he claimed, had previously insulted former President John Mahama but is now declaring victory for the NDC.
He questioned how Mahama and his supporters could take such prophecies seriously, calling them deceptive.
He reiterated that while spiritual leaders are entitled to their opinions, democracy is about the voters' choice, and Ghanaians should make their decisions freely, without undue spiritual influence.
"The democratic process remains the legitimate way to choose our leaders," Mr Atta Akyea said, stressing the need for voters to focus on practical governance issues.
In his address, he urged Ghanaians to remain hopeful about the prospects of excellent governance under the leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
He warned that the NDC would fail to provide the progress the country needs, referencing the NPP’s success in implementing the Free SHS policy and suggesting that the NDC would collapse the initiative.
Mr Atta Akyea described former President Mahama’s political future as "on a spiritual holiday," urging NPP members and supporters to work diligently to ensure the party's victory in the 2024 elections.
He concluded by expressing confidence that the NPP is the best choice for Ghanaians, calling on all party members to unite behind Bawumia’s candidacy for continued progress.
