A political analyst has raised concerns over the potential nomination of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, citing historical election data that points to weaknesses in his electoral appeal.
According to the analysis, in approximately 90% of constituencies, local parliamentary candidates consistently outperformed Dr. Bawumia in vote counts. The trend suggests a significant performance gap between the Vice President and party candidates at the grassroots level.
By examining regional voting patterns, the analyst further questioned the narrative that Dr. Bawumia could act as a “game changer” among northern or Muslim voters. The data reportedly shows little evidence of him significantly boosting support in these regions, contradicting popular assumptions about his electoral influence.
The source warned that selecting Dr. Bawumia as the NPP’s flagbearer could lead to a major defeat in future elections. Drawing on historical figures from the 2020 polls, the analyst noted instances where voters abandoned the presidential ticket, even while supporting local NPP candidates.
Ultimately, the message serves as a direct appeal to party delegates to consider a more “credible” and broadly popular alternative—someone deemed capable of winning against the opposition and closing the performance gap observed in past elections.
