The General Overseer of Spirit Life Revival Ministries, Prophet Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, has come under scrutiny after his prophecy about the 2026 New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries failed to materialize.
Prior to the election, the prophet had repeatedly claimed that Kennedy Agyapong would be elected as the flagbearer of the NPP, stating that this was revealed to him by God.
However, the prophecy did not come to pass after former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia emerged victorious in the primaries. This outcome has generated public criticism, with many arguing that it undermines God’s authority.

Kennedy Agyapong will be NPP’s 2028 flagbearer – Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun predicts
The General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, has shared a vision predicting Kennedy Agyapong’s emergence as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
In a Facebook post on May 3, 2025, Prophet ElBernard described a spiritual experience where he witnessed internal party deliberations doubting Agyapong’s leadership capabilities.
However, the vision revealed a strong support from the youth rallying behind Agyapong, leading to a nationwide movement that eventually swayed party elites to endorse him.
“I will see and hear a confidential discussion among the elite, prominent figures in politics and members of parliament… They will be deliberating, asking, “Can he lead our party? Does he have what it takes?” And many among them will say, “We will not support his candidacy.
“I will see a group of passionate young people who have embraced the vision and message of Kennedy Agyapong. They will be energized, rallying others to join the movement. It will grow rapidly, with youth from all political backgrounds uniting around him. Some will even leave their former parties, seeing their future in his leadership,” he wrote.
According to Prophet Nelson-Eshun, this strong movement by the youth will eventually lead to Kennedy Agyapong being the major flagbearer for the NPP in 2028.
“In the conclusion of the vision, I will witness Kennedy Ohene Agyapong elected as the flagbearer of the party. A new movement will emerge, one that brings renewed strength, unity, and energy to the New Patriotic Party. I will marvel at how the choice of one man could revive the party and prepare it with vigor for the 2028 election,” he added.
This prophecy aligns with previous predictions by other religious figures, including Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, who in November 2023, asserted that Agyapong would become Ghana’s president, contingent upon certain conditions and divine guidance.
Kennedy Agyapong, a seasoned politician and businessman, served as the Member of Parliament for Assin Central until January 2025.
Despite losing the NPP’s 2024 flagbearer race to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Agyapong’s political journey appears to be far from over.
