I pray that God afflicts those seeking Mahama’s third term with incurable malaria – NPP MP

The Member of Parliament for Suhum, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, has accused President John Dramani Mahama of attempting to extend his rule beyond the constitutionally mandated term.

According to Mr Bekoe, the ruling party is using its significant parliamentary majority to intimidate the Minority Caucus—a strategy he says will fail. He described the Minority’s actions on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, as a necessary response to the Majority Caucus’s refusal to respect due process and parliamentary procedures.

“The minority had no intention to disrupt the proceedings. However, the majority refused to allow the rule to work. If you choose to abuse the law and intimidate your opponents, you will not secure peace. If you want to trample on people’s rights, then you will not secure peace. I want to emphasise with the greatest of clarity that if you wish to trample on the rights of others, you will not find peace,” Mr Bekoe stated.

He went further, calling President Mahama a “greedy man” who seeks to become a life president, claiming that this ambition threatens the nation’s stability. He alleged that the President has established a government platform comprising civil society organisations, Supreme Court judges, journalists, and other officials to consolidate power, a move he says undermines Ghanaian laws.

In a controversial statement, the Suhum MP invoked a divine prayer against those he accused of attempting to stay in power beyond their term: “I pray and ask God to strike any individual or individuals who seek to undermine our laws to create tension and threaten our peace and stability with malaria that is extremely difficult to cure.”

Mr Bekoe, also known as “Protozoa,” criticised the Tamale High Court’s decision to order a rerun of the Kpandai constituency election, calling it “unconstitutional, disastrous, and manipulative.” He argued that the election of Matthew Nyindam as MP was lawful and reflected the will of the people, accusing the NDC of attempting to “snatch the seat” through abuse of power.

He further criticised the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, for directing the Clerk to notify the Electoral Commission about the vacancy of the Kpandai seat, describing the Minority’s actions as necessary to forcefully communicate that they would not cooperate with parliamentary business until their concerns are addressed…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
