Before the election, the prophet exhorts Mahama to make amends and make peace with Nana Konadu.

According to the news report , The National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, former President John Dramani Mahama, visited with religious leaders in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on November 11, 2024. This gathering, which comes after a comparable gathering in Accra, demonstrates Mahama's attempts to establish ties with spiritual leaders while recognizing the significant influence that religion has on Ghanaian politics and society.




Many pastors and prophets expressed their faith in Mahama's vision and leadership, and the event was described as having a lively, rally-like atmosphere. Mahama allowed the clergy to voice their thoughts and concerns, underscoring his willingness to talk about moral and spiritual issues that the general population finds significant.

One particularly noteworthy instance was when respected leader Prophet Razak brought up a subject that was hardly discussed during Mahama's campaign: his tense relationship with former President Jerry John Rawlings' widow, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings. Due of internal conflicts, Nana Konadu, a former member of the central NDC, quit to start her own party. Mahama was addressed directly by Prophet Razak, "Why haven't you made amends with Nana Konadu?"—a query that struck a deep chord with people who knew about the party's long-standing division.

In order to mend the party and secure his legacy, Prophet Razak advised Mahama to seek reconciliation, saying he was divinely moved to make this request. He emphasized that unification with Nana Konadu might affect Mahama's chances in the next election and solidify his reputation as a unifying leader. "Mr. Mahama, whatever has happened in the past, I believe it's your calling to make peace with her," he said.

Mahama seemed to appreciate the wisdom in Razak's comments as she listened intently. This appeal for harmony served as a reminder to many delegates of how crucial it is to settle long-standing disputes for the NDC's future. Mahama was strongly reminded by Prophet Razak's revelation that his campaign and legacy might depend on his own supporters standing together.
