All People’s Congress flagbearer, Dr. Hassan Ayariga, has cautioned against men of God making prophecies and predictions about the next presidential candidate.

Addressing concerns about the rise of prophetic prophecies regarding the elections on the JoyNews Upfront show, Dr. Hassan Ayariga expressed that religious interference could lead to chaos if the prophecies do not prove accurate.

He urged religious leaders to allow the masses to elect their preferred choice of political candidates without influencing their decision-making through prophecies.

"Many Ghanaians believe in their prophets, let’s say their pastors, and in this crucial election of 2024, I’m pleading with the pastors to stop the prophecies of who is going to become the next president of Ghana because this election is a crucial one.

"If a prophet should come out and prophesy that candidate A is going to be president and at the end of the day that candidate doesn’t become president, then it's going to be war, it's going to be chaotic. People will come out and say ‘no this is the result and it has been turned’, and we don’t want that.

"We want a peaceful election. We don’t want the interference of prophecies by pastors and so-called men of God, from imams, chiefs, and all that. They should allow the election to go without prophecies. Let every Ghanaian go and vote. Let all the political leaders go and campaign. If you win, that is the will of God, if you don’t, that is not from any pastor prophesying A, B, and C," he opined.
