The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, Baba Jamal, has dismissed viral images circulating on social media that appear to show him sleeping shortly after his swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.
In an interview with Accra-based Okay FM, the MP clarified that the images are manipulated and do not reflect what actually occurred during parliamentary proceedings.
“There are several of the photos going around. Even one of them had me with my mouth wide open. These are AI-generated photos,” he explained.
Baba Jamal suggested the circulation of the images is part of efforts by some individuals to discredit him following what he described as a significant moment in his political journey.
“People would always want to dent every beautiful thing when it happens,” he added.
The photos began trending on social media shortly after the swearing-in ceremony, prompting mixed reactions from users online.
Baba Jamal, who previously served as Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, was declared the winner of the Ayawaso East parliamentary seat on March 3, 2026, after polling 10,884 votes, defeating the NPP’s Yussif Ali Baba, who received 4,009 votes.
