Kennedy Osei Nyarko, the member of parliament for the Akim Swedru Constituency, has issued a warning to New Patriotic Party (NPP) members, advising them not to become sidetracked by Rev. Owusu Bempah’s recent endorsement of John Mahama.
Before the 2024 elections, Rev. Owusu Bempah, the founder of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, caused a stir by endorsing National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate John Mahama.
In a Facebook post, Kennedy Osei Nyarko called Owusu Bempah’s endorsement a “bait” meant to incite conflict between Christians and Muslims and deflect attention from the NPP’s ideology.
“Let’s not take the bait,” Nyarko urged. “We must focus on showcasing our party’s achievements and message to the Ghanaian people.”
Nyarko’s caution comes amid worries that some Christian voters may decide to defect to the NDC as a result of Owusu Bempah’s support. Osei Nyarko, however, is upbeat and emphasizes that the NPP’s record and development plan for Ghana will ultimately win out.
“We must activate God’s prophecies through hard work and dedication,” Nyarko said, referencing Job 33:14. “Let’s spend our time and energies selling our message and good works as a government and party to the people.”
Seasoned members of the party have welcomed the NPP MP’s call to action, acknowledging the importance of remaining committed to their campaign objectives.
