(Video) Dumsor strikes during Dr. Bawumia's Address at youth event
In an unexpected turn of events, a power outage, commonly referred to as “dumsor,” interrupted Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s speech at the Greater Accra Youth Connect event. The incident occurred as the NPP flagbearer was addressing a gathering of enthusiastic young supporters.
As the lights went off, the crowd collectively shouted “eiiii,” expressing their surprise and frustration. Despite the interruption, Dr. Bawumia maintained his composure and continued his speech once power was restored.
The event, aimed at engaging youth in the Greater Accra region, saw Dr. Bawumia discussing key policies and plans to address youth unemployment and other pressing issues. The interruption highlighted ongoing concerns about Ghana’s power supply stability, an issue that has been a significant talking point in the country’s political discourse.
Dr. Bawumia, who is a key contender in the upcoming 2024 elections, has frequently addressed the challenges of dumsor and pledged to find lasting solutions to Ghana’s energy problems. The power outage at this event underscored the urgency of addressing these issues.
The Greater Accra Youth Connect event continued smoothly after the brief outage, with Dr. Bawumia receiving applause for his resilience in the face of the unexpected power cut. As the 2024 election approaches, incidents like this will likely fuel further debate on the effectiveness of current measures to stabilize the country’s power supply.
