The Book of Primaries: Chapter One: 1 – 4

1. In the beginning was the Vision.

And the Vision was with the Prophet.

And the Prophet was very confident.

2. And the Prophet said, “Thus saith the Lord: Kennedy shall win.”

3. And Facebook said Amen.

WhatsApp forwarded it.

4. And the congregation nodded—because in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, revelation sometimes arrives before delegates.

AMEN

This year’s NPP primaries reminded us that Ghana now runs two parallel electoral systems:

1. Delegates vote.

2. Prophets announce results in advance.

The prophetic route was faster. No queues. No collation. No pink sheets. Just confidence, scripture, and very bold timelines.

It wasn’t prediction. It was proclamation.

Then primary day arrived—and the Republic encountered a small theological challenge:

The prophets had spoken.

But the delegates had not been informed.

As results clarified the direction of the race, the prophecy began to develop footnotes. Words like “conditional,” “timing,” and “mystery” entered the chat.

Soon after, apology season opened.

One prophet publicly admitted his prophecy failed and apologised.

Kennedy Agyapong conceded and urged supporters to remain calm—eat, drink, and await God’s time.

Democracy had spoken. Calmly. Without anointing oil.

Then came the public square—the most efficient collation centre in Ghana.

You know the comments:

“So God changed His mind?”

“Next time, prophesy lotto numbers.”

“It was spiritual victory, physical delay.”

“Kennected or Bawulated?”

Memes followed. Theology followed. Explanations followed.

Because in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, prophecy never fails. It only reschedules.

Moral of the story (small proverb before we scroll away):

When the drumbeat changes, the dancer must change steps.

Democracy does not attend all-night prayer meetings. The ballot box does not watch Facebook Live. And delegates, like rain, cannot be commanded—only courted.

A dispatch from the Republic of Uncommon Sense.
