The founder and leader of the Glorious Wave Church, Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi, has stated that President-elect John Mahama would have won the 2024 presidential election with over 60% of the total valid votes cast if the election had gone to a run-off.

According to him, several factors contributed to the victory of John Dramani Mahama. He explained how God directed him to cause voter apathy in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) stronghold, especially in the Ashanti region, to ensure the NDC's win.

Speaking in a sermon to his congregation on Sunday, December 22, 2024, he stated, "On the day of the elections, when you were voting, Pastor Acquah was in the village, Pastor Bright was in Accra, and I was in Kumasi, walking through Kumasi, stopping everything that would be functioning."

He continued, "So, at 4:00 o'clock in Kumasi, they were calling people, asking, won't you come out and vote? And let me tell you why it was so. God told me that if the NPP had people, the NDC couldn't win, and it would go to a second round. But in the second round, this is how it would go: if it had gone to a second round, Mahama would have won with over 60%, which would have shocked the whole of Ghana, not just the 56% that he got."

"So, everybody listened. Heaven told me that Badu Kobi, his elections, if NPP [supporters] vote, it will go to the second round. So, God, what do we do? He said, 'Let's work for voter apathy,' which means it is our party, but we won't go out to vote," he added.

The Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, on Monday, December 9, 2024, declared John Mahama, the presidential candidate of the NDC, the winner in the election, with a total of 6,328,397 votes.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) received 4,657,304 votes.

Mahama's party, the NDC, achieved historic success by gaining a majority in Parliament.
