A Deputy Minister of Education, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has urged for the avoidance of religious stereotypes in Ghana's political landscape.
He emphasised that God does not show favoritism but appoints leaders for specific periods in the lives of His people.
In a post on X platform, the Assin South Member of Parliament (MP) expressed his belief that Ghana will thrive under the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)'s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, if elected as President in the upcoming December 2024 elections.

He asserted that Dr. Bawumia would serve as a superior president for the country compared to the National Democratic Congress' flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.
"Yesterday I joined the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to cut sod for the construction of 4 storey, 200-bed capacity hostel for Trinity Theological Seminary in Accra. The contribution of Christian institutions to Ghana’s development was acknowledged by His Excellency Dr Bawumia as enormous and therefore envisions stronger partnerships with faith-based institutions under his tenure to propel the nation’s progress."
"Let us eschew religious stereotyping in politics, as God is no respecter of persons. God will prosper Ghana under the Presidency of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia."
The recent statement made by independent presidential aspirant, Alan Kyerematen, advocating for the election of a Christian leader has drawn criticism from both the NDC and NPP.
Addressing members of the Church of Pentecost Dr. Wyatt Assembly over the weekend, Mr. Kyerematen asserted, “As a predominantly Christian nation, it is our responsibility as Christians to elect a Christian leader, who embodies Christ-like qualities.”
However, this pronouncement has sparked disapproval from both major political parties, with critics arguing that such statements undermine the principles of religious freedom and inclusivity in governance.
