All People’s Congress flagbearer, Dr. Hassan Ayariga, has urged religious leaders to refrain from making predictions about the upcoming presidential election.
Speaking on JoyNews Upfront, Ayariga highlighted the potential for chaos if such prophecies fail to materialize.
He pointed out that many Ghanaians hold their religious leaders in high regard, and prophecies about election outcomes could significantly influence voters.
Ayariga stressed the importance of a peaceful election process, free from religious interference, and urged pastors, imams, chiefs, and other leaders to avoid making election-related predictions.
Ayariga stated, “In this crucial election of 2024, I’m pleading with pastors to stop predicting who will become the next president of Ghana. If a prophecy about a candidate doesn’t come true, it could lead to unrest. People might claim the results have been manipulated. We need a peaceful election without such interference. Let every Ghanaian vote and let the political leaders campaign. The true will of the people will prevail, without the influence of prophecies.”
