Fellow Ghanaians,
The campaign for election 2024 has indeed heated up. The days are drawing closer to election day, Saturday, 7 December 2024, hence there is no time to waste. Any opportunity that comes our way as electorate and discerning Ghanaians wishing the best for Ghana and ourselves must be grasped without fail.
Exactly two weeks from today, on Saturday, 23 November 2024, the Ghanaian electorate will throng to the polling booths to cast their votes to elect a president and members of parliament for the next four years.
Each electorate has a reason why they cast their vote for specific candidates. Whatever their reasons are, they expect whomever they cast their vote for to win, isn’t it?
What if all the signs written on the walls and in the clouds, with the doubts raised in the mind of the individual, indicate that their candidate cannot win a million times? Why should they go ahead to vote for him or her?
Without beating about the bush, I am going to be frank with my fellow Ghanaian electorate heading to the polls on Saturday, 7 December 2024, to elect a replacement president for President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Any vote you cast for any of the independent presidential candidates, right from Mr. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen through Cheddar to the late Madam Akua Donkor of blessed memory, is a wasted vote that goes to reduce the chances of Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia winning the election.
Election 2024 is a two-way contest between Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia-cum-NPP and Mr. John Dramani Mahama-cum-NDC, with all the other contestants being merely distractions or sideshows; spoilers, so to speak!
A “spoiler” is a candidate who has no chance of winning, but whose candidacy still impacts the outcome of the election.
The NDC members, supporters, and activists, and some of the undecided, thus, floating voters, will surely vote for Mr. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC without fail. However, those deciding to vote for any of the independent candidates are likely to be mostly NPP members and supporters and floating voters who, in the absence of the independent candidates, would have voted for Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.
To such an electorate about to vote for any independent candidate, I say, your vote will only directly or indirectly increase the votes for Mr. John Dramani Mahama and NDC, although you may not have directly voted for them by your thumbprint.
Mr. Mahama and NDC are never an alternative to Dr. Bawumia and NPP for what it takes by dedication and vision to develop a country. As an orange cannot compare with an apple, so can’t a small visionless brain compare with a big visionary brain.
For the sake of acquiring knowledge to advance Ghana in this contemporary technological world, I plead with the Ghanaian electorate to vote for Dr. Bawumia and NPP without spoiling your votes on the independent candidates.
Until the election is conducted, the votes counted, and Dr. Bawumia declared president-elect, let us not rest on our oars, all ye discerning Ghanaians seeking the best for Ghana and Ghanaians.
Please let us double our door-to-door, village-to-village, and house-to-house campaigns canvassing for votes for Dr. Bawumia, the most humble, intelligent, innovative, visionary, honest, and dedicated one. He thinks and plans big, unlike his “nkoko nketenkete” political rival Mr. Mahama.
I call on all Ghanaians, especially my fans, Kumawu and Juaben-Asiampa people, wherever you are, to put in your last-minute hardest efforts in these remaining thirteen days to the election, to campaign to garner more votes for Dr. Bawumia and NPP to win the election.
The battle is still the Lord’s.
It is possible!
