Did Bawumia Really Refuse to Greet the Speaker of Parliament? Viral Video Sparks Controversy

A viral video has recently sparked a heated debate across both political circles and social media, capturing what many consider a diplomatic slight during a major public event.

In the clip, Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is seen passing by the Speaker of Parliament without offering a handshake, even though he exchanges greetings with others in the lineup, including the Minority Leader.

The brief interaction has ignited speculation about possible tensions between the two prominent political figures. While some suggest it was an accidental oversight, others believe it was a deliberate action, hinting at deeper political currents.

Social media reactions have been mixed. One user, @feliciaadjei3956, downplayed the significance, stating: “Has the Speaker ever had any dealings with Bawumia that weren’t political? I’m sure the Speaker wasn’t bothered about a greeting from him!”

Meanwhile, another user, @nanaoboade3550, took a more pointed approach, highlighting the difference in political standing between Bawumia and the Speaker, saying: “Nkwasea Kasa! Bawumia has served as Vice President and been on a presidential ballot, while the Speaker didn’t even secure his party’s presidential nomination!”
