Former President John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate, held a significant meeting with religious leaders in Kumasi on Monday, November 11, 2024. This gathering in the Ashanti Region follows a similar event in Accra, demonstrating Mahama’s commitment to open dialogues with the clergy on the moral and spiritual aspects of his campaign.
The meeting, which felt almost like a rally, saw enthusiastic pastors and prophets showing support for Mahama’s potential return to office. In a move toward transparency, Mahama invited the clergy to voice their thoughts and concerns about his leadership vision.
One notable moment came when Prophet Razak, a respected figure in the Kumasi region, raised a question that had lingered unaddressed. He asked why Mahama had yet to reconcile with Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, the widow of former president Jerry John Rawlings. Nana Konadu, once a key figure in the NDC, had parted ways with the party to form her own political group, creating a lasting rift.
Prophet Razak shared that he felt spiritually compelled to broach the subject, stating, “Mr. Mahama, regardless of any past grievances, I believe you’re called to make peace with her.” He added, “If this reconciliation doesn’t happen, it could tarnish your legacy and impact your leadership bid.”
Mahama listened intently, acknowledging the weight of the suggestion. This interaction underscores the increasing emphasis on unity within Mahama’s campaign as he engages various sectors of society.
