In an interview with Rev David Armstrong, founder and leader of the Mo Mary Fellowship Ministry based in the Atwima Kwawoma district of the Ashanti region, has made headlines with a strong rebuke of Rev Owusu Bempah.
His admonition to members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) came amidst rising tensions in Ghana’s political landscape, emphasizing that the NDC should refrain from entertaining the controversial pastor.
Rev Owusu Bempah, widely recognized for his vocal support of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and his prophetic claims, has found himself at the center of controversy.

Rev Armstrong did not hold back in labeling Bempah as a “hypocrite” who has been rejected not only by the NPP but also by numerous Ghanaians for his erratic behavior and inflammatory statements.
According to Armstrong, Bempah’s attempt to align himself with the NDC is nothing but a calculated move to gain relevance after facing backlash from his own political camp.
Armstrong pointed out the increasing tensions within the NPP, citing a recent incident where supporters of the NPP were heavily attacked at a radio station owned by the NPP’s Ashanti regional chairman, Antwi Bosiako ( popularly known as Chairman Wontumi), in Kumasi.
This incident, he argued, showcases the fractures within the party and a shifting landscape where Owusu Bempah founder of the Glorious Word Power Ministry now looks toward the NDC as a new avenue for validation.
“Every pastor in Ghana has a political affiliation—some are just more discreet about it,” Armstrong asserted.
He accused Rev Owusu Bempah of having a longstanding animosity towards the NDC especially the former president John Dramani in his public declarations over the years.
Armstrong asserted that Owusu Bempah’s attacks on Mahama demonstrate his opposition to the NDC and render him an unsuitable figure to engage with the party.
Rev Armstrong’s sentiments resonate with many in the political and religious communities who are wary of the intertwining of faith and politics in Ghana.
Armstrong’s fervent call to the NDC seeks to remind party members of their values and the importance of aligning with leaders who genuinely reflect their principles and aspirations.
The clergy’s concluded message was clear: Rev Owusu Bempah does not deserve a place within the NDC camp.
As the political climate continues to evolve, the exhortations by Rev Armstrong serve as a reminder of the crucial intersections between religious leadership and political allegiance in Ghana.
Members of the NDC are encouraged to remain vigilant and discerning in their associations, particularly as the nation approaches significant electoral milestones.
