Reverend Isaac Owusu-Bempah, founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has stirred debate with his remarks about President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership and future in Ghanaian politics. Rev. Owusu-Bempah publicly stated that President Mahama has performed so well in office that he believes the president should not step aside when his current term ends. He urged Ghanaians to consider retaining Mahama’s leadership even after the constitutionally defined end of his tenure.
In his comments, the clergyman argued that Mahama’s leadership has brought stability and progress to the country, and because of this, he should be allowed to continue guiding national affairs beyond the typical limits of his office. Rev. Owusu-Bempah’s position reflects a broader conversation among some supporters who feel that Mahama’s work has not yet been completed and that his vision for Ghana should carry forward.
These remarks come amid ongoing political discussions about leadership, term limits, and democratic norms in Ghana. The Ghanaian constitution sets clear rules for how long a president can serve, and any suggestion that a leader should continue beyond those limits raises questions about constitutional continuity and respect for established democratic practices. Critics of Rev. Owusu-Bempah’s view argue that leaders must respect the rule of law and that changing or extending tenure should be done through democratic processes, not personal appeals.
Reverend Owusu-Bempah is known for his vocal engagement in political issues, and his comments often generate strong reactions from both supporters and critics. This latest statement adds to a series of public interventions he has made regarding Ghana’s political leadership and future direction.
