Political communications and marketing specialist, Dr. Bernard Tutu-Boahene, says religious prophecies should not be used as a basis for making political decisions, especially within internal party contests.
Speaking on Channel 247’s 247 Newsroom Live with host Awuraabena Boateng, Dr. Tutu-Boahene reacted to recent prophetic declarations circulating on social media suggesting possible shifts in support between Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong.
According to him, while religion plays an important role in society, political decisions must be guided by strategy, organisation, and effective mobilisation rather than spiritual predictions.
Dr. Tutu-Boahene explained that endorsements and campaign movements are influenced by practical considerations, including delegate alignment, grassroots engagement, and perceived momentum, not prophecies.
He noted that recent endorsements in support of Dr. Bawumia, including backing from 118 former New Patriotic Party parliamentary aspirants, should be viewed within the context of political mobilisation and campaign dynamics.
The analyst added that while prophecies often generate public discussion, they do not necessarily translate into actual voting behaviour among delegates.
Dr. Tutu-Boahene urged political actors and supporters to focus on tangible campaign work at the constituency level, stressing that electoral outcomes are ultimately decided through organisation and voter engagement.
