Prophet Kwabena Okumdom has issued a direct warning to broadcaster Captain Smart, predicting that his bid to become Member of Parliament for the Gomoa West Constituency will end in failure.

The prophet delivered the forecast during an interview on Asempa FM on 20 August 2026, advising Captain Smart against committing financial resources to the parliamentary campaign. His message was unambiguous:

"Don't waste your money, you won't win."

Captain Smart's political ambition

Captain Smart, whose real name is Blessed Godsbrain Smart, recently announced his intention to contest the National Democratic Congress parliamentary primaries in the Gomoa West Constituency.

The move marks a significant shift for the outspoken media personality, who has built a substantial public profile through his commentary on national issues over the years.

His decision to seek political office has drawn considerable attention, given his visibility in Ghana's media landscape.

Transitioning from broadcasting into direct political participation, however, presents a different set of challenges, including securing the NDC's internal ticket, building grassroots support within the constituency, and ultimately winning a parliamentary election.

Prophet Okumdom's stark warning

Prophet Okumdom's intervention has introduced a spiritual dimension to the broadcaster's political journey.

The prophet was explicit in his assessment, stating that the outcome of the contest would not favour Captain Smart regardless of the effort and money invested.

The prediction has attracted public interest, with many observers now watching whether the prophecy will bear out as the electoral process unfolds.

Captain Smart has not publicly indicated that the prophet's warning has altered his political plans.

The broadcaster-turned-politician claims that he was offered a bag full of cash to cease his criticism of the NPP government, a serious assertion that raises questions about political integrity and the lengths to which party officials may go to silence dissent.
