The universe has chosen Bawumia over Mahama - Tema MCE

The Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Yohane Amarh Ashitey, has said that the recent outcome of the balloting for the 2024 presidential election is evidence that the stars are crossed for former President John Dramani Mahama.

In a social media post, Yohane Amarh-Ashitey declared that the universe itself has rejected John Mahama as president and favoured Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next leader of Ghana.

“What happened is a repetition of the 2020 pre-election balloting in which President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo got the number one position on the ballot and beat John Mahama by about half a million votes,” Yohane Amarh Ashitey wrote.

According to him, “The universe has rejected Mr. John Mahama again and chosen Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next president.”

The MCE’s declaration comes less than a week after the Electoral Commission had undertaken balloting for the various presidential candidates in preparation for the 2024 elections in December.

"In spite of overzealous efforts by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegation to ensure that the balloting was not rigged, at the end of it all, Dr. Bawumia picked the number one spot, banishing John Mahama to the number 8 spot," he said.

The Tema MCE pointed out that John Dramani Mahama and the NDC had their plans, but the universe had another plan.

“What is written in the stars is written. Since 2016, the universe has rejected Mr. John Mahama as President, and this rejection has just continued into this year as well,” Yohane Amarh Ashitey wrote.

There have been speculations that former President John Dramani Mahama fell out of favor with luck after he associated himself with well-known American gay lobbyist and activist, Andrew Solomon.

Mr. Andrew Solomon was a special guest of honour at the launch of a book by Mr. John Mahama, who was then the President in 2016, buying some of the first few copies.

Following that event, some men of God have said that God removed his favour from Mahama, leading him to lose the 2016 election by an unprecedented margin of almost 1 million votes.
