Bawumia, the presidential candidate for Ghana’s ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), is facing significant challenges according to recent reports and leaked information.
These developments suggest that his chances of winning the upcoming election outright are diminishing, potentially leading to a runoff against opposition leader John Mahama.
An Office of the President report, highlighted in Joy FM’s 6am news bulletin on September 17, 2024, implies that Bawumia and the NPP are unlikely to secure an outright victory in the first round of voting.
Instead, the report suggests that the election may proceed to a runoff. The key takeaway from this report is that John Mahama, the candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is gaining considerable support from undecided voters.
This shift indicates that Mahama could be more appealing to those who have not yet committed to a candidate.
Adding to the concern, recent leaks have revealed that the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and National Security have shared reports with Bawumia and the NPP about their potential defeat.
These documents reportedly outline the weaknesses in the NPP’s campaign and suggest that Mahama is currently outpacing Bawumia in voter support. This intelligence underscores a challenging situation for the NPP as the election approaches.
The combination of these reports and leaks presents a difficult scenario for Bawumia and the NPP. If the reports are accurate, the party needs to urgently reassess its strategies and address voter concerns to improve its chances.
On the other hand, Mahama and the NDC could use this momentum to strengthen their position and potentially secure a victory in the upcoming election.
