A Ghanaian prophet has publicly advised broadcaster Captain Smart to abandon his planned run for a parliamentary seat, warning that the effort would be a waste of time and money.
According to a report by GhanaWeb, the prophet directly addressed Captain Smart, telling him, “Don’t waste your money, you won’t win.” The warning was issued in response to reports that the media personality is considering entering politics as a candidate for Member of Parliament.
GhanaWeb’s report, published on Friday, 21 August 2026, did not provide additional details about the prophet’s identity, the specific constituency involved, or the timing of Captain Smart’s potential announcement. The outlet’s coverage focuses solely on the public admonition and the claim that the bid would ultimately fail.
Captain Smart, a well-known figure in Ghanaian broadcasting, has not yet confirmed or denied the reports of his political ambitions, according to the material available. The prophet’s statement appears to be a preemptive warning rather than a response to a formal declaration.
The news comes amid broader interest in Ghana’s political landscape, where public figures from media and entertainment frequently float candidacies. However, without further reporting from GhanaWeb or other outlets, the basis for the prophet’s certainty about the outcome remains unclear.
What to watch next: Whether Captain Smart responds to the prophecy or makes a formal statement about his political plans in the coming days.
