Mind Boggling Question: Why Is Bawumia Consistently Pulling More Crowd Than Mahama?
News Hub Creator7h
Mind boggling question Ghanaians can’t wrap their minds around is how pre-campaign times we criticise the president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo/Dr Mahamadu Bawumia’s administration so bitterly, yet we welcomed them again in open arms during campaign periods.
Despite, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party, continue to draw massive crowds during his campaign durbars across the country compared to former President John Dramani Mahama leaving many of us puzzled. Is it some kind of political mind games?
Despite widespread criticism of the New Patriotic Party government over the years, the sheer number of supporters at these rallies contrast starkly with the public discontent voiced during pre-campaign times.
Frustrated by issues like high cost of living, economic hardship, galamsey, Ghanaians have repeatedly criticised the government in public forums and on social media but the enthusiasm and support for Bawumia on campaign trail paint a different picture.
In comparison, former president John Dramani Mahama has consistently struggled to garner the crowds of similar magnitude as Bawumia. Many political experts are questioning how Ghanaians, who so often express dissatisfaction with the current administration, can turn out in large numbers to welcome one of its leading figures with open arms
As to whether this support will translate to real vote on December 7th, time will tell.
