As the December elections draw near, the political tension between Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and NDC’s John Dramani Mahama is escalating.
Recently, Mahama made headlines by criticising Bawumia’s frequent outreach to religious leaders, suggesting that such moves were a sign of desperation.
He further disparaged the NPP’s record over the past eight years, branding their governance as ineffective and lacking in progress.
In response, Dr. Bawumia has vigorously defended himself and his party.
He dismissed Mahama’s comments as a reflection of his growing concern over the election results. Bawumia suggested that Mahama’s resort to personal attacks is an attempt to mask the NDC’s failing campaign.
According to Bawumia, the NPP is poised for a decisive victory in the upcoming polls, and he predicted a significant defeat for the NDC.
The Vice President underscored the NPP’s accomplishments and future plans, asserting that these will overshadow the criticisms from the opposition.
General elections will be held in Ghana on 7 December 2024 to elect the president and members of Parliament. Incumbent President Nana Akufo-Addo is term-limited and thus ineligible to run again.
The ruling New Patriotic Party opened its nomination period on 26 May 2023, and closed nominations on 24 June 2023. It selected its candidate at its National Congress on 4 November 2023.
The opposition National Democratic Congress opened its nomination period on 22 February 2023 and closed nominations on 22 March 2023.
