This is an NDC propaganda and it will sell. Shame on NDC
Nana is divisive and is not competent.I have called them twiddle dee twiddle dum Bawuia isnot competent and you can see it from his comments Has he ever proferred solutions
knowledge + wisdom what a great man. I have changed my mind. npp all the way.
Hahahaaa intelligent moslem Allah bless,you refused to be provoked.A man may choose a woman bcos of her beauty but it may turn out that she has more than the beauty,which may be intelligence,hardwork etc
If leaders are chosen based on religion rather tha competency then Ghana is a big trouble. We need competent people to lead Ghana.
Please, for goodness and peace sake, let's leave Muslim and Christian out of this.
I thought he was smart that was why he was chosen. His comments make him a dumb asshole.
Its a shame to Bawumia to introduce religion into Ghana politics. Let Ghanaians be careful of wolfs in sheep's skin
I have read all the comments, and like a typical Ghanaian you all think alike and very shortsightedly.
The man is right, he was a strategic choice for political and campaign expediency, when Atta Mills had Mahama to boost ...

I am glad he was chosen because of his religion.
Why did you say that. So many factors are considered before picking a running mate.
Not just religion
Go back to the root of the Ghanaian politics and you`d read the right way. Rawlings never selected a northerner simply because he knew he could steal the two elections he won without any sort of fears. Some people who stood a ...

Those condemning Dr Bawumia should think of the positive side of his selection. Should we have Christian domination or religious integration in our body politics?
This is dangerous for our future as a nation. Let's learn from the countries that gave such platforms and the price they are paying for their mistake. Ghana, next on that agenda. Voters be advised. We need solutions not reli ...

Wrong,wrong,wrong, NPP/NDC must stop this ridiculous practice.
This article is so amateurish and childish it insults the intelligence of the average reader. Little wonder the country lurches from inertia to chaos.
Give the guy a break, he spoke the truth. He said, he was "partly" selected because he is a muslim. He did not say that, he was selected "mainly" because he is a muslim. See the difference.
We all know that is the truth bu ...

This same NDC people since 1992 has made Ghanaians believe that NPP is anti muslim,northners,ewes,etc. Now look at the new twist. COMPLETE NONSENSE!
Face the facts, its about Bawumia saying he was selected because he is a moslem. Has this got anything to do with NDC? Who forced him to saying that?
Interesting to see people who have being in the political landscape for ti ...

Picking one tribe against another may help you win power but you would never be successful to bring a change.Discerning Ghanaians are beginning to see this trick started by JJ/NDC.It won't work this time around.
He was selected because he was the best person for the job. This is Ghanaians for you he doesn't know how to sell himself to win confidence and resorted to religion.

Muslim man wearing a turban, who was eating fresh shrimp.
Every time he ate one, he spat the tail in her

There is nothing wrong if Dr Bawumia states that part of the reason why he was chosen by Nana is because he is a muslim.
The consideration has always been to have a south -north ticket . Therefore we saw Prof Mills selectio ...

WHICH ONE IS MORE DANGEROUS? ETHNICITY OR RELIGION.
These people want power at all cost.Now after creating problems in the north the NPP now wants to play the religious card - a divisive tactics. Ghanaians will reject you people again
The emphasis is on the word partly,dude.
I DON'T THINK BAWUMIA THOUGHT OF IT WELL, IT WAS A SLIP OF TOUNG PERIOD
We know that Bawumia is more competent than Mahama and Amisa Arthur put together.
"...selected partly because I am a Muslim..."
How can a Christian and Moslem combination be described as divisive in our politics??? These idiots in foreign lands don't even know what is happening in ghana.NDC propaganda is so myopic that they don't even know our constit ...

This has been his stock in trade in politics. It was to counter this kind of divisive politicking that compelled John Mahama to ask the people of Walewale where Bawumia is from to vote for him because he was also one of their ...

Does this surprise anyone? Nana Akufo-Addo's entire political style is based on divisiveness, intimidation, lies and self-aggrandizements. He has succeeded in driving a wedge between the Akyem and Ashanti factions of NPP and ...

Well said Elijah.
We want a leader who doesn't flaunt his/her ethnicity, religious beliefs, and socio-economic status.
Shows his party lacks vision.

Wait and watch nana and bawumia bring Boko haram and IS to invade Ghana
You people should leave dr. Bawumia alone. Bcos if he would have said something different, you guys will capitalize on that.
Dr Bawumia has been very FRANK as one can not lie in a place of worship. It is an accepted fact that he was and still being used as a tool to harness 'something' from the religious community he belongs to. A regret? Yes! But ...

So, what? If that reason alone could help us avoid Boko Haram, it is good enough for us. If his ability of solving the problem with our Economy could materialize, we would take that for an icing on the cake.

If partly means total in your thinking then, religion equates region when you select your vice. This osibisa radio is beginning to sound and dwell on a one liner political konkonsa asem yer-paa messages.

Hajahahahahaa...this article is funny. Infact it makes a mockery of itself. I nearly stopped reading after the 1st paragraph. The writer should know better. Kg 2 journalism. hahahahahahjaaaa
if your a Muslim so what, their a lot of Muslims in the world but they don't practice Islam religion. You said the same in 2008,2012 now in 2014.PLz are you a Muslim more than Alh. Aliu Mahama?RPT Hmmmmmm 'asem woho"
What has religion got to do with politics. I admire you but stop making such sill statements. This is how Nigeria got itself when it is with this nonsense of sharia and the stupid boko haram
Mr. Bawumia ! I know you are a man of integrity and my presumption is that ,as an aspiring Veep you'll serve all Ghanaians without fear or favor should you be elected , so pls next time be a little smart with your public st ...
