Finally, the campaign is coming home, and we can now discuss the issues.
First of all, let’s admit one undisputed fact: elections in Ghana favour consistent and repeated candidates; that’s a fact and not assumptions.
Prez Akufo-Addo, the veteran politician and someone who had been on the ballot twice in 2008, won zero constituencies in 6 out of the 16 regions in 2012, and Kufuor won zero constituencies in 8 out of the 16 regions in 1996
Both Prez Kuffour and Prez Akufo Addo were repeated by the party simply because, again, our country’s socio-political environment favours consistency, and indeed both of them won, despite recording zero wins in 6 and 8 out of 16 regions.
Every indication, no matter how you jump around it, points to the fact that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, losing 2024 elections, also reinforces him and makes him the most likely person to win the next elections.
Especially when he’s running against a completely new candidate. This is supported by data and no assumptions.
Beyond the science and data, Dr. Bawumia remains the aspirants with clear and cogent vision for the party and Ghana, and that sets him miles apart from the rest.
He is PREPARED | FORMIDABLE | WINNABLE
He was tested and managed to garner support in the face of very difficult circumstances in 2024.
The fact is that when Dr. Bawumia was presented in 2024, he garnered close to 42% of the votes. That we know for a fact . What we don’t know is how many of the votes the other aspirants can gather if given the opportunity.
They may do more or less and it is that risk the party people have not time for. It is difficult to hazard a candidate who is hoping to gather 50% simply on the basis of saying he can and ignoring a candidate who has actually travelled the journey and proved to gather the numbers less 9%.
The most strategic thing to do would be to hold onto the person and work to consolidate the 41 while you tweak your strategies to attract the extra 9%.
Every election is a risk; you may lose or win, but surely you can manage your risk and go with the one that gives you the best chance.
The numbers favour Dr. Bawumia. The electoral history favours Dr. Bawumia.
Finally, Dr. Bawumia is shifting the campaigns back to the real issues, away from insults and name-calling. Let’s keep it up, Patriots. 🔥
