Former President John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate, convened a meeting with Religious Leaders in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region on Monday, November 11, 2024.
This was a follow-up to a similar session in Accra, marking Mahama’s ongoing efforts to engage directly with the clergy and address the spiritual and moral questions surrounding his campaign.
The gathering held a rally-like energy, as pastors and prophets voiced their support for Mahama, many expressing confidence in his potential return to the presidency. The former president, keen to foster a transparent dialogue, invited the clergy to voice their questions and concerns about his leadership goals.
During the session, Prophet Razak, a prominent religious figure in the region, raised an issue of reconciliation that many had wondered about but few had addressed publicly. “Why haven’t you reconciled with Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings?” Prophet Razak asked, referring to the widow of the late former president Jerry John Rawlings. Nana Konadu, once a core figure in the NDC, left to form her own political party amidst tensions, a rift that had only deepened with time.
Prophet Razak shared that he felt divinely led to raise the issue. “Mr. Mahama, regardless of any past grievances, I believe you’re called to make peace with her,” he advised. “If this reconciliation doesn’t happen, it could tarnish your legacy and affect your bid for leadership.”
