We have been giving poll data to pastors to use as prophecies – NPP's Karbo admits

Anthony Abayifaa Karbo, Senior Advisor to the Bawumia Campaign, has stated that most of the prophecies made by Ghanaian pastors concerning elections in the country are fake.

He claimed that while in opposition, the NPP allegedly gave pastors poll data to shape their election prophecies.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on January 19, 2026, he argued that he believes in polls more than in the prophecies of pastors.

Anthony Abayifaa Karbo further stated that he would not mention the names of the pastors involved, but he can confirm that they were being fed with data.

“Today, I have been seeing the prophets prophesying about things, but when we were in opposition, we were giving them the polls data to prophesy.

“I won’t mention their names. We gave them the polls data and told them that the economic management team has provided statistics showing who is winning or losing, and they arranged it in a prophecy. If any pastor claims that he sees things, he should open branches in the five northern regions. Why is he always in Accra?” he questioned.



Election prophecies have become common in the country, as pastors often make predictions about the outcomes during every election year.
