Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority leader, has warned President John Mahama not to be influenced by people to contemplate a third term in office.
According to Afenyo-Markin, although President John Mahama has said he is not interested in a third term, he should not allow his people to lead him into temptation.
Addressing a press briefing on Monday, January 26, 2026, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin stated, “We are aware that Mr President himself says he is not interested in the third-term agenda but we take this opportunity to also mention to Mr President that Mr President, we are aware that many of your party members want to push the agenda,” he said.
Afenyo-Markin further called on President Mahama to reaffirm his position directly to Ghanaians, adding that the Minority will oppose any such attempts to advance a third-term agenda.
He added, “Please tell them one more time. Maybe when you said so in Singapore, they didn’t hear you. Mr President, you haven’t spoken about your non-interest in a third term in Ghana”
“Please tell your people that you are not interested at all. They shouldn’t lead you into temptation, and by the way, it is not possible”, the minority added.
Meanwhile, Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, has boldly declared that President John Mahama will be forced to go for another term.
According to Prophet Uche, President John Dramani Mahama has another term to rule Ghana, adding that he must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years.
Speaking to his congregation during the 31st Night watch service, Prophet Uche detailed, “In the spiritual court, where heaven met, our father John Dramani Mahama must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years. He has another term to rule in the highest office of Ghana”.
“I told people who are close to me and ‘papa’ about this about eight months ago. I told them that he (Mahama) will be forced to go for another term,” he said.
Also, Rev Owusu-Bempah, the Founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries International (Glorious Chapel), has once again stated that President John Dramani Mahama must be allowed to continue to rule Ghana beyond his second term.
According to Rev Owusu-Bempah, he believes no one can handle the country better than President Mahama.
The man of God stressed that Mahama should be made to continue as president until he decides to step down and appoint someone for Ghanaians to support that person to continue his good work.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM, Rev Owusu-Bempah stated, “President John Dramani Mahama deserves commendation because things have been going well since he became president. Ghanaians have seen the good things he is doing, such as paying off debts and stabilising the economy. We must praise him because he is working”.
“For me, I don’t want him to go because there is no one else who can do better than him, looking at how he is ruling the country. If he wants to step down, he should appoint someone for us to support because I don’t know who else can help rule the country better,” he added.
