A Ghanaian woman has publicly chastised controversial pastor Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, urging him to distance himself from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and accusing him of betraying the party’s trust. The fiery admonishment, captured in a viral video, has reignited debates about the clergyman’s polarizing political ties.
According To Yen, In the widely circulated clip, the unidentified woman—speaking in Twi—accuses Rev. Bempah of being a “fair-weather ally” who abandons the NPP in difficult times. “When the party needed your support, you were nowhere to be found. Now that elections are coming, you want to return?” she fumes, wagging her finger for emphasis. Her outburst reportedly occurred during a public gathering in Accra, drawing cheers from onlookers.
Bempah’s Rocky NPP Ties
The pastor, founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries, has long been associated with the NPP, famously prophesying victories for the party. However, critics allege he switches allegiance for personal gain. His recent absence from key NPP events fueled speculation of a rift, though Bempah denies this, calling the woman’s claims baseless.”
NPP Reacts
While the NPP has not officially addressed the incident, party insiders admit frustration with Bempah’s “prophecy theatrics.” Some see him as a liability,” an anonymous NPP communicator told Citinewsroom.
Public Divided
– Supporters of the woman praise her for speaking truth to power,” with hashtags like BempahBackOff trending.
– Bempah’s allies dismiss the criticism, blaming “opposition plants” for stirring drama.
Bigger Picture
The clash underscores growing tensions within Ghana’s political-spiritual complex, where religious leaders wield influence but risk backlash for perceived opportunism. As 2024 elections loom, Bempah’s next move—and the NPP’s tolerance of his brand of activism—will be closely watched.
Whether this marks the end of Bempah’s NPP romance or just another storm in a teacup, one thing’s clear: Ghana’s pulpit-politics drama is far from over.
