Election 2024: Mahama’s Hometown People Betray Him Again As They Do The Unthinkable For Bawumia
The 2024 general election is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing elections, as Mahama’s hometown people appear to have betrayed him once again, this time in a surprising show of support for Bawumia.
Over the weekend, Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, continued his nationwide campaign tour. With just over five months until the election, Bawumia is working to convince Ghanaians to keep the NPP in power. Many citizens have expressed dissatisfaction with Akufo-Addo’s administration for failing to fulfill promises made before the 2016 elections. Bawumia now faces the challenge of addressing these issues and leading the party to victory in December.
During the weekend, Bawumia toured the Savannah Region, visiting Daboya-Mankariqu, Bole-Bamboi, and Sawla-Tuna-Kalba. This was his second visit to the area in three months. In May, he visited Bole Bamboi and Damango, where he was warmly welcomed despite the region being the home of his main rival, John Dramani Mahama. Once again, Bawumia was greeted by thousands in Bole-Bamboi. Notably, one poster praised Bawumia for his investments in the region while mocking Mahama for claiming to be a native but providing little support.

This election will see intense competition in the five northern regions, as both major presidential contenders hail from the north. This sets the stage for a significant and closely watched electoral moment.
The enthusiasm and large crowds greeting Bawumia during his tours highlight the importance of the northern regions in the upcoming election. His frequent visits, particularly to areas like Bole-Bamboi, are strategic, aiming to build support in regions traditionally associated with his opponent, Mahama.
Bawumia’s campaign focuses on showcasing the NPP’s achievements and contrasting them with the perceived shortcomings of Mahama’s contributions to the region. This approach aims to sway voters by highlighting tangible benefits brought by the current administration.
The intense competition in the northern regions is not just about winning votes but also about securing a symbolic victory in areas significant to both candidates. As both Bawumia and Mahama are prominent figures from the north, their success in these regions could influence the overall outcome of the election.
As the campaign progresses, the political landscape in Ghana will be closely watched, especially in the northern regions. The outcome here could be a decisive factor in determining the next president of Ghana, making every visit, speech, and public appearance crucial for both candidates.
Bawumia’s strategy also involves addressing specific issues that resonate with the voters in the northern regions. By focusing on local concerns, he aims to build a strong connection with the electorate. Infrastructure projects, economic development initiatives, and social programs are likely key points in his campaign, highlighting the NPP’s commitment to improving the lives of the people in these areas.
Moreover, the presence of large and enthusiastic crowds during Bawumia’s visits suggests a growing support base, which could translate into significant voter turnout. This grassroots support is crucial in a competitive election where every vote counts.

In contrast, Mahama’s response to Bawumia’s campaign efforts will be equally important. As a former president and a native of the northern region, Mahama will need to reinforce his influence and address any criticisms head-on. His campaign will likely emphasize his past achievements and present a compelling vision for the future.
