According to the Apostle, President Mahama ticks a lot of boxes, which partly informs why, in his view, he has been chosen for greater things once he hands over the torch to his successor.
"The anointing of God is upon him, and after completing his work as president, he will do the work of the Lord," he stated.
President Mahama's political life
John Dramani Mahama is a Ghanaian politician, communicator, and historian with over three decades of public service.
He began his political career in 1996 when he was elected as Member of Parliament for Bole-Bamboi on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), serving until 2009.
From 1998 to 2001, he served as Deputy Minister and later Minister of Communications under President Jerry John Rawlings, where he played a key role in liberalising Ghana’s telecom sector.
In January 2009, he became Vice President under former Head of State John Evans Atta Mills.
Following Mills' sudden death in July 2012, Mahama was sworn in as President, becoming the first Ghanaian to assume the presidency under such circumstances.

He won the December 2012 election and served a full term as President. However, he lost his re-election bid in 2016 to Nana Akufo-Addo, becoming the first incumbent president in Ghana’s Fourth Republic to be voted out of office. He conceded defeat graciously, reinforcing Ghana’s democratic credentials.
Mahama remained politically active, leading the NDC into the 2020 and 2024 elections. After a narrow loss in 2020, he made a strong comeback in 2024, winning a clear majority and returning to power in January 2025.
This historic victory made him the first Ghanaian president to serve two non-consecutive terms and only the second to return to the presidency democratically after leaving office.
Apostle Elisha speaks on Mahama after presidency
Apostle Elisha stated that President Mahama carries a powerful anointing that even some of the most famous pastors in Ghana lack.
He added that God dearly loves the President and will support all his endeavours, emphasising that it was because of this divine love that Ghanaians gave him a second chance to lead the country.
"If not for Ghana's constitution, which restricts Mr Mahama from contesting as President after his second term, he would have won the next election after consulting God," the preacher stated.
