In the early hours of the new year, the atmosphere at Regin House Chapel was charged with anticipation as congregants gathered for the annual Watch Night Service. Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, known to many simply as Prophet Uche and a spiritual disciple of the famed Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah, delivered a message that would soon echo far beyond the church’s walls.
Standing before his congregation on December 31, 2025, Prophet Uche urged Ghanaians to pray fervently for the nation’s lawmakers. His prophecy was stark: Parliament, he warned, would see vacant seats in 2026, ushering in by-elections and a period of uncertainty. “For 2026, we should pray for Parliament again,” he intoned. “There is going to be a vacant seat in the Parliament House. If you know someone in Parliament, dip that person into the blood of Jesus because two seats will become vacant. There will be two by-elections in Parliament.”
The prophecy took on new significance less than a week later when the news broke that Mohamed Naser Toure Mahama, the long-serving Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, had passed away on January 4, 2026, after a brief illness. His death, set to trigger a constitutional by-election, immediately drew public attention back to Prophet Uche’s warning.
Mr. Mahama, who was born in Nima, Accra, in 1965, served Ayawaso East with distinction for over a decade, representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) since 2012. Renowned for his decisive victory in the 2024 general elections, where he secured more than 70 percent of the vote, Mahama was also a businessman and a scholar, holding a BSc in Marketing from Central University, a diploma from GIMPA, and an MBA from Doshisha University in Japan.
His passing has set off a wave of reflection and speculation, particularly on social media, as citizens revisit Prophet Uche’s words and debate their significance. While the nation mourns its departed legislator, attention now turns to the Electoral Commission, which must set the stage for a by-election in Ayawaso East. In the midst of grief, the intersection of prophecy and politics has become a focal point of national conversation.
