Nana Akomea, the Vice Chairman of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, has come under intense criticism following a series of comments made during an interview on GH One TV.
Nana Akomea is reported to have stated that a 74% to 75% vote margin in the Ashanti Region by the NPP will secure their victory in the general elections.
Additionally, he mentioned that a future Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia government would introduce bus lanes for buses and trotros to ensure easy accessibility for passengers. He also outlined plans to introduce electric vehicles and provide credit facilities to help people purchase them, aiming to reduce transportation costs.
His comments, however, ignited fury among Ghanaian netizens on X on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
Other trending topics include Akua Donkor, Nana Aba, Roman Fada, Justice Atuguba, and Ayalolo.
Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending:
Akua Donkor
Following her demise and the disqualification of her party by the EC from contesting the general elections in December, Kofi Akpaloo has called for the reprinting of ballot papers to omit Akua Donkor from the ballot.
Ayalolo
Following the introduction of electric buses by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, netizens are criticizing the government for abandoning the Ayalolo buses introduced by the previous John Dramani Mahama administration.
Nana Aba
The media personality has come under heavy backlash after applauding Dr. Bawumia’s free kidney dialysis treatment under the National Health Insurance Scheme.

Dr. John Mahama constructed dedicated bus lanes on major routes in Accra; something you failed to continue implementing for the last 8 years. You shd be embarrased. https://t.co/hu3ns0YXFp

On the Matter of The Late Madam Akua Donkor, Why can't the Electoral Commission of Ghana just Blank the Name and Photo of the Ghana Freedom Party to avoid any confusion.?

You are insulting him for requesting for the ballot papers to be reprinted.
— Kofi Asamoah (@Gidaas) November 13, 2024
But like he said, what if Roman father was not disqualified. Were they not going to replace Akua Donkor’s picture with his?
You are only angry because it would change the NDC position.
Touch grass!!! https://t.co/6nByT3luvP
It’s ok for Bridget Otoo and Abeiku Santana to do advocacy for your party, campaign and even drag government, but it’s a heresy and treacherous if Nana Aba projects the good things govt is doing ? Nana Aba hasn’t even endorsed Bawumia, but see how these dimwits keep insulting her
