The actor publicly declared his allegiance to the ruling NPP and took to social media to air his views on the political climate as the 2024 elections approach.

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Prince David Osei suggested that no amount of prayers or anointing from religious leaders would help John Mahama reclaim the presidency.

He emphasised that the current atmosphere of alleged propaganda aimed at tarnishing the NPP's image would not be effective in swaying public opinion.

According to him, despite efforts to paint the ruling party in a negative light, particularly in connection to illegal mining, the truth would prevail. He said:

"Good morning, fellow countrymen and women. Let me share a brief perspective. Even if all the pastors were to pray and anoint Ex-President Mahama, he would not regain the presidency. The ongoing propaganda tactics against the NPP, including accusations of involvement in illegal mining, will not succeed. The issue of illegal mining involves individuals from both NDC and NPP, politicians, pastors, and the public. Some of us are not mere observers; our prayers are impactful. Pay attention and consider the facts. Vote number 1 for Progress on the 7th of December. Your future depends on it," he wrote.
