A member of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, Yaw Adomako Baafi, has indicated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has started resorting to violence since it knows it will lose the 2024 general elections.

He said the NDC has acknowledged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaigns have been well received by Ghanaians, compared to John Dramani Mahama’s, hence, an admission of defeat.

Adomako Baafi was making reference to the assault incident recorded at Naagyei FM in Ejura in the Ejura Sekyeredumase constituency in the Ashanti region, where the NDC communicator physically assaulted the NPP communicator.

The suspect, Abubakari Sadiq Osman, is alleged to have pounced on the victim, Abdul Raman Hudu, during a morning show on the radio station without any provocation, resulting in multiple degrees of injuries to the victim.

Speaking to Otec News, Adomako Baafi asserted that the NDC, led by former President John Mahama, lacks credibility and proper policies.

“They [NDC] have no campaign messages and have now resorted to violent attacks ahead of the general elections.

"The NDC people mistakenly thought that because of the global hardship they were going to take the elections for granted, and before they realized, the way we have conducted ourselves, Ghanaians have bought into our campaign,” he said.

Adomako Baafi stated that Dr. Bawumia has what it takes to lead the country compared to John Mahama.

“Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been tested, he is full of humility, has the wisdom, and is a symbol of true leadership compared to John Mahama. The good works of President Nana Akufo-Addo are an added advantage to the NPP messages, which Ghanaians have bought into.

“The NDC is aware that the presidential election will result in defeat, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will take office as Ghana’s next president on January 7, 2025,” he added.

The 2024 general elections are slated to take place on December 7, 2024.
