The NPP communicator's promise to burn himself if Mahama wins angers netizens.

A New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Communicator is facing criticism as the general elections of 2024 draw to a close because of a bold pledge he made before the polls. In a live television broadcast before the election, Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah declared that if NDC candidate John Dramani Mahama won the presidency, he would burn himself alive in the studio. "If John Mahama wins, I will burn myself alive on live TV and douse myself with kerosene in this studio," he said exactly. This is documented, thus it's not a joke.

Political analysts and social media users have been quick to remind Gyewu-Appiah of his audacious claim after the Electoral Commission formally announced Mahama as the winner. Memes and remarks have been circulating on social media, with some users jokingly asking if he intends to keep his promise. Some have demanded that the statement be written off as a political ploy. Gyewu-Appiah has not yet made a public announcement about his prior pledge.
