In a striking post-election analysis, Evangelist Kweku Baah, founder and leader of the Church of Gethsemane in Kumasi Ahwiaa, has openly expressed his gratitude to God for the National Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the recent December 7 elections.
In an exclusive interview following a church service on December 23, Evangelist Baah shared his thoughts on the NPP’s loss, attributing it to what he described as the party’s inherent selfishness and disregard for the welfare of the people.
Evangelist Baah, who self-identifies as a sympathizer of the NPP, stated that he played a significant role in the party’s previous victory in 2016. He recounted how he dedicated time, resources, and fervent prayers to help the NPP win that election. However, he expressed feelings of betrayal, claiming that after their victory, the party turned its back on him.
“They used me to gain power and then discarded me like I was nothing,” he lamented. This sentiment has fueled his belief that the NPP’s current defeat is a divine punishment for their actions.
The Evangelist did not hold back his criticism of the NPP’s leadership, branding many of its top members as greedy and self-serving. He emphasized that their focus on wealth accumulation overshadowed their duty to serve the citizens of Ghana. “These are people who love money more than the welfare of their fellow human beings,” Baah stated emphatically.
He believes that such behavior cannot go unpunished, claiming that divine justice was served in the electoral outcome.
In his analysis, Evangelist Baah pointed out the strategic campaigning of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which he argued cleverly exploited the NPP’s weaknesses. He highlighted that the NDC consistently appealed to certain demographics, including the Voltarians and Fantes, while questioning the NPP’s leadership choices. “When has the NDC ever considered an Ashanti as their flagbearer or vice?” he posed, suggesting that the NPP’s failure to connect with a broader voter base contributed to their downfall.
Furthermore, Evangelist Baah criticized the NPP’s internal divisions and the rampant distribution of money to delegates during their campaign. He questioned the ethics of such practices, asking how anyone could expect loyalty and dedication from delegates who were bribed with cash.
“If you’re giving them money, who do you expect to waste their time standing in the sun to vote for you?” he challenged, pointing out the disconnect between the party’s actions and the needs of the electorate.
Baah also addressed the economic challenges facing Ghana, asserting that the NPP’s underperformance in this area was a key factor in their electoral loss. He claimed that voters were acutely aware of these issues and that the party’s failure to address them adequately contributed to their humiliation at the polls.
Despite his criticism of the NPP, Baah acknowledged that the NDC’s victory did not stem from hard work but rather from a divine orchestration. He concluded his interview by emphasizing that no political party could deceive God without facing consequences, suggesting that the electoral outcome was a reflection of a higher moral order.
