I will burn myself alive on TV if Mahama wins the elections - NPP communicator

A communication team member of the New Patriotic Party, Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah, has made a wild statement regarding the outcome of the general elections in December.

Appearing as a panelist on Original TV on November 26, 2024, Gyewu-Appiah boldly proclaimed that he would burn himself alive on TV should the NDC’s presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, emerge the winner of the 2024 polls.

Gyewu-Appiah, sounding confident in the victory of his party and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the declared winner, stated that he would stick to his promise and fulfill it.

“If John Mahama wins this election, pour kerosene on me and burn me alive on live TV so Ghanaians can watch. I’m telling you this, if Mahama wins this elections, I will personally douse myself in kerosene and burn myself alive in a live coverage and I’m not joking with this,” he said

When the host of the show tried to warn him that someone could harm him if he failed to keep his word, he continued saying, “Immediately he wins, I will sit here and burn myself to death. I always fulfill my promises and I will do it. No one will see me and try to harm me over this statement because I will fulfill my words. I will not allow someone kill me but will do so myself.”

His comments have been described by critics as reckless.

Ghanaians will go to the polls on December 7, 2024, to elect new leaders in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.
