Head pastor and leader of Glorious Word Power International Ministry, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, insists former President Mahama will still lose the 2020 elections no matter what.
Rev Owusu Bempah has always insisted that Mr Mahama has no political future egging him to call it quits.
His comments come after the former president subtly declared his intention on Saturday to contest the 2020 elections on the ticket of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Mr. Mahama who had been coy about his interest for the slot wrote on Facebook last Saturday evening that he has reflected on the numerous calls on him to contest and will not disappoint his supporters.
“I want to congratulate the rank & file and executives of our party, the NDC, at all levels for the commitment and work rate we have put into our reorganization efforts.
“To you, the teeming supporters and sympathizers calling and requesting me to declare my intentions for the future, I wish to assure you today, that as a servant-leader, I have listened to your calls and reflected. I will not disappoint you even as we await the publication of the party’s guidelines for selecting a new leader,” Mr. Mahama wrote.

But speaking on the former President’s declaration, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah said though he is not surprised about Mr Mahama’s intention, it will be a waste of time on for him to contest in 2020 because he won’t win.
“I have always said it and still insist that Mahama will only disgrace himself in 2020 because he won’t win the election. He should go and rest, he can declare his intentions 100 times, I don’t mind and not shocked but then truth is that he won’t succeed” he said on Accra-based Neat FM as monitored by Adomonline.com.

Rev. Owusu Bempah says Mahama has surrounded himself with inexperienced people who are only around to mislead him.
