Ahead of the 2024 general elections, many people expressed confidence in their candidates' chances of winning, with some going to the extreme of offering their lives as a sacrifice to Ghanaians should their party lose.

Others also prophesied that they should be killed if their prophecies failed.

Among those who made such proclamations were the deputy national youth organizer of the NPP and a pastor.

NPP National Youth Organiser

Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), emphasized his conviction that the party would retain power by challenging for his head to be chopped off if the party fails to win the 2024 general election.

In a viral video, Salam Mustapha was seen addressing some party faithful during an event, expressing absolute confidence that the NPP will retain power come December 7.

"We are not losing the election; let nobody try to convince you NPP is going to lose. I am telling you, if we lose this election, I keep on telling people, cut off my head. That is the level of my confidence going into that election," he stated.

Apostle Kwabena Owusu Adjei

Apostle Kwabena Owusu Adjei, head pastor of Hezekiah Apostolic Prayer Ministry, stated that his life should be taken if John Mahama is re-elected as president.

According to him, John Mahama has been banned from becoming president again in the spiritual realm.

He has thus put his life on the chopping board, asking to be killed should the NDC leader win the 2024 elections.

“John Mahama is spiritually banned from becoming president again. He has no chance near the presidency because the Lord has rejected him. I have no church but my body is the temple of God so I offer my body and life to be taken if Mahama wins the 2024 elections,” onuaonline.com quoted the man of God.

Apostle Kwabena Owusu Adjei was quick to add that the 2024 general elections is a win for any party that will elect an Ashanti and a Voltarian as a running mate.

Meanwhile, following the close of polls on December 7, 2024, for Ghana’s presidential and parliamentary elections, the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, officially declared John Dramani Mahama the winner on Monday, December 9.

Mahama, representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), secured a total of 6,328,397 votes, defeating Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who garnered 4,657,304 votes.

The NDC also achieved a historic parliamentary victory, gaining a majority in the legislature.

According to the party’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC has so far secured 185 parliamentary seats.
