Gospel musician Diana Asamoah has expressed strong faith in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) ability to win the 2024 general elections, dismissing negative prophecies predicting otherwise.
Speaking at an NPP campaign rally in the Ashanti Region on October 5, 2024, she pointed to the government’s notable achievements, such as the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, as reasons for their expected victory. Drawing from the Bible, she referenced the story of King Hezekiah, who was told by Prophet Isaiah that he would die, but through prayer and faith, his fate was reversed, and God granted him 15 more years of life.
“In 2 Kings 2:1-7, Isaiah prophesied that Hezekiah would die, but Hezekiah prayed, and God reversed it because of his service to Him. Likewise, the NPP government, including Akufo-Addo, Bawumia, and NAPO, will not accept defeat. Our good works, like the Free SHS, will ensure that any doom prophecy against us will not stand—we will win the 2024 elections,” she declared confidently in Twi.
Her comments came in response to prophecies from some men of God, including Rev. Owusu-Bempah, who recently laid hands on NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama during a meeting with the clergy on October 1, 2024. During the prayer, Owusu-Bempah prophesied that Mahama’s kind heart would win him favour with God, leading to his return to the presidency. This prophecy has sparked varied reactions on social media, with many expressing surprise, given Owusu-Bempah’s known ties to the NPP.
Despite this, Diana Asamoah remains resolute that the NPP’s track record will lead to their success in the upcoming elections.
