Spiritual Leaders Clash Over Authority in Ghana’s Upcoming Presidential Elections
Prophet Uebert Angel’s favorable declarations for Vice President Bawumia in Ghana’s elections prompted a fierce rebuttal from Apostle Chris-Levite, who claimed that Angel holds no authority over John Mahama. This exchange underscores the intricate relationship between politics and religion in Ghana as the 2024 presidential elections approach.
A controversial declaration made by Prophet Uebert Angel, a prominent British-Zimbabwean spiritual leader, regarding the upcoming December 7, 2024, Presidential Elections in Ghana has ignited significant discourse in the political arena. The Prophet’s comments appeared to support Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the current Vice President and presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). In response, Apostle Chris-Levite, a self-described senior spiritual leader aligned with John Mahama, the opposition candidate from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President of Ghana, vehemently challenged Prophet Angel’s authority and jurisdiction within the country. In a viral video, Apostle Chris-Levite criticized Prophet Angel, claiming, “Prophet Angel, you don’t have authority and jurisdiction in Ghana. God may be speaking to you. But whatever that He told you, He has told us already, and we have informed John Mahama.” As Ghana approaches the elections, both Bawumia and Mahama are intensifying their efforts to win the support of the electorate. The remarks from both spiritual figures reflect the intertwining of politics and religion in Ghana, particularly as the nation prepares for a crucial electoral decision.
The political landscape in Ghana is currently charged as the country approaches its presidential elections scheduled for December 7, 2024. The two primary candidates are Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, representing the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), and John Mahama of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), a former president. The involvement of spiritual leaders in politics is not uncommon in Ghana, where prophecies and declarations can influence public perception and voter sentiment. Thus, Prophet Uebert Angel’s recent endorsements signal deeper political undertones, prompting responses from rival factions, particularly as the stakes are high in the upcoming elections.
The recent exchange between Prophet Uebert Angel and Apostle Chris-Levite highlights the contentious interplay between politics and religion in Ghanaian society. With imminent elections, the declarations made by spiritual leaders can shape public discourse and voter behavior, as seen in the contrasting claims over authority and divine guidance concerning the political candidates. As Ghana’s electoral climate intensifies, the responses from both political and spiritual leaders will likely continue to influence the narrative leading up to the polls.
