The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has attributed its heavy defeat in the December 2024 general elections to what it describes as spiritual influences and internal disunity. According to the party’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, mysterious occurrences on election day played a pivotal role in the outcome.

Speaking in an interview with Ashh FM, excerpts of which were shared by Facebook user Yaw Koshievi, Mr. Kodua highlighted an inexplicably low voter turnout among NPP supporters across all 16 regions of Ghana.


“It was as though our members decided not to vote,” he remarked. “In all sixteen regions, it was as if NPP supporters had made an agreement not to cast their votes. This is highly unusual and cannot be attributed to regular political reasons.”


Kodua suggested that the party’s misfortunes were partly due to spiritual factors, alleging that internal tensions and anger among some pastors who traditionally intercede for the party led to a withdrawal of spiritual support.


“I appeal to the pastors who intercede for us,” he said. “A lot of spiritual machinations occurred ahead of the 2024 elections. Many pastors and women of prayer, who should have been praying for us, withheld their support because of anger, and that definitely impacted the results.”

Renowned prophet Rev. Owusu Bempah, a longtime supporter of the NPP, had also publicly predicted the party’s defeat, claiming that spiritual forces would work against the NPP in the election. His prediction came to pass when NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama won the election with a decisive margin.


The Electoral Commission’s final results, declared on December 9, 2024, confirmed a resounding victory for Mahama, who secured 6,328,397 votes (56.55%) compared to the NPP candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 4,657,304 votes (41.61%).


The NDC also dominated parliamentary elections, winning 183 seats, leaving the NPP with just 88 seats—a stark contrast to their earlier parliamentary strength.


Mr. Kodua’s remarks underline the need for the NPP to reflect on internal conflicts, party unity, and its spiritual reliance. Many political analysts believe the defeat stems from a combination of internal disputes, governance challenges, and a resurgent NDC campaign, though Kodua’s emphasis on spiritual factors sheds light on the party’s internal belief systems.


As the NPP begins its post-election introspection, Kodua's appeal for reconciliation within the party and renewed support from religious leaders signals the party’s desire to rebuild ahead of future elections.
