Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia suffered a momentary slip of tongue on stage during the final rally of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Kumawu Constituency in the Ashanti Region.
Whiles taking potshots at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bawumia referenced ‘dumsor,’ rolling power blackouts during the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration, as one of the reasons the NPP faithful must reject the NDC.
But in his speech, he first referred to dumsor as sunsum (a spirit) before quickly reverting to the right term.
What did Bawumia say?
The NDC are roaming about that we should vote for the NDC candidate, do they think that we have forgotten about them or that we don’t think?
Do you remember that during the NDC-era, we slept in sunsum, in dumsor, for four years; is that not the case? Do you want us to go back to dumsor again?
Or you want him to go and bring back the missing guinea fowls that escaped to Burkina Faso? During their time in office, the NDC established two factories, just two. We have established over 150.
