Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has warned that Ghana’s democracy could be in danger after the 2028 general elections if the country fails to address concerns over justice, accountability, and its declining value system.
The founder and leader of Action Chapel International said he was particularly worried about growing desperation among young people, warning that their frustrations could threaten the country’s stability if left unaddressed.
In a video shared on X on October 9, 2026, the archbishop stressed that his remarks were based on his observations as a student of prophecy and history, rather than a prophecy about Ghana’s future.
“I’m concerned because if we don’t do something about our value system after the 2028 election, depending on who comes into office and power, if we don’t do right by country and by citizens after 2028, our democracy may be finished,” he said.
Duncan-Williams cautioned that young people who feel they have little to lose could become increasingly difficult to contain if their concerns are ignored.
“The most dangerous person to fight in life is fighting somebody who has nothing to lose, and this young generation, you see, like this, they are becoming very desperate, and it bothers me. They are becoming desperate. They don't have wives. They don't have children,” he said.
He also criticised what he described as a lack of accountability in Ghana, arguing that public officials are sometimes allowed to remain in office even after wrongdoing, including when they are caught lying.
“In our society, even when people do wrong, we still allow them to hold office. There’s no justice,” he said.
The archbishop maintained that justice and accountability were necessary to preserve peace and safeguard the country’s democratic institutions.
“Peace is not the absence of war or conflict but the presence of justice,” he added.
