Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has publicly condemned Ghanaian chiefs, pastors, imams, traditional leaders, and various civil society groups for endorsing the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a video posted on social media, the former President criticized these leaders during a campaign stop at Alogblogshie Anglican Church in Accra. Mahama expressed his belief that instead of praising Bawumia, these leaders should have criticized him for what Mahama describes as the NPP's poor governance.

"Pastors, imams, chiefs, and civil society organizations exist in this nation, and they support the NPP rather than criticizing it. It seems as though we are the evil guys when NDC says something. Instead, they should band together with us to inform the government that it's time for you to leave because of your immorality toward Ghanaians. However, you'll see Chiefs praising NPP for their excellent work.

"Pastors are seen praying for Bawumia in the churches, saying things like, 'We bless you and may God give you victory,' and 'the government has done a good job.' He approaches the traditionalists, and they ask their ancestors to lead him (Bawumia) and pour wine into their shrines," the former President said.
