NPP primaries prophecy began, as these things often do, with a Vision—and the Vision was very confident.
Facebook believed. WhatsApp forwarded.
Only the delegates missed the memo.
NPP Primaries Prophecy: 5 Lessons When Delegates Vote
Once upon a time in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, elections were not decided by delegates. They were decided by revelations—delivered with reverb, scripture, and a confidence so loud even doubt had to reduce volume.
So when some self-acclaimed prophets of God proclaimed a win for Kennedy Agyapong in the just-ended NPP primaries, it was not prediction. It was proclamation. Not may. Not perhaps. But shall.
NPP Primaries Prophecy and the Republic of Two Electoral Systems
This year’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries reminded us that Ghana now runs two parallel electoral systems:
- Delegates vote (old-fashioned, slow, deeply human).
- Prophets announce results (fast, confident, spiritually high-definition).
The prophetic route was smooth—no queues, no collation, no pink sheets. Just bold declarations, media tours, and a spiritual certainty delivered like a press conference from the sky.
Lesson 1: Prophecy Travels Faster Than Process
Democracy is patient. It queues. It counts. It confirms. It doubles back for “verification.” Prophecy skips the paperwork. It arrives fully dressed, already shaking hands, already writing thank-you messages.
And once prophecy trends, it becomes a civic event. People do not ask “Is it true?” They ask “Have you seen it?” In the Republic, a viral prophecy is half a victory.
Lesson 2: The Delegate Is a Small God
Then primary day came and the Republic encountered a small theological problem:
The prophets had spoken… but the delegates had not been informed.
Overnight, “the grassroots” stopped being a poetic concept and became sacred ground. Convoys learned humility around speed ramps. Handshakes became longer. Smiles became national assets. Promises became firmer than bank loans—especially the ones without paperwork.
Lesson 3: When Results Speak, Prophecy Develops Footnotes
As results began to clarify the direction of the race, NPP primaries prophecy started developing footnotes. Words like conditional, timing, and mystery entered the chat.
In the Republic of Uncommon Sense, prophecy never fails. It only reschedules.
Lesson 4: The Public Square Is Ghana’s Fastest Collation Centre
Ah yes—the public square. Ghana’s most reliable collation centre. The comments arrived with the usual national efficiency:
- “So God changed His mind?”
- “Next time, prophesy lotto numbers.”
- “It was spiritual victory, physical delay.”
- “Prophets speak. Delegates vote.”
Some defended the prophets with advanced theology: “God’s timing is different.” Others were less charitable: “Bro, the delegates didn’t attend the prayer meeting.”
Lesson 5: Apologies Are the New Prophecies
Then came the apology revival.
“I am sorry.”
“I take responsibility.”
“I was wrong.”
Public apologies appeared like confession booths on social media. Some were sincere. Others were worded like insurance policies. The prophecy, we were told, was genuine. The outcome was… mysterious.
A Rival Prophet Enters: Spiritual VAR
As if on cue, another prophet stepped forward. “I prayed against it.”
Ah. So it wasn’t democracy. It was spiritual VAR.
Prophet versus prophet. Prayer versus counter-prayer. Revelation versus revelation. Meanwhile, the delegates went home to eat, drink, and mind their business—because democracy may be dramatic, but it doesn’t require anointing oil.
A Gentle Moral (Because RUS Does Not Shout)
There is an old saying: When the drumbeat changes, the dancer must change steps.
NPP primaries prophecy may trend, but democracy does not attend all-night prayer meetings. The ballot box does not watch Facebook Live. And delegates, like rain, cannot be commanded—only courted.
