Media personality Kofi Adoma Nwanwani has expressed concerns about the position of National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama on the ballot paper for the 2024 general elections.

According to Adoma, Mahama's eighth position on the ballot could present significant challenges, primarily due to its location.

He explained that some voters might struggle to find Mahama's position on the ballot, potentially costing him votes.

Conversely, Adoma noted that New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr. Bawumia's number one position on the ballot paper gives him an advantage over his main competitor.

"Dr. Bawumia is in a safe position for the 2024 elections, but John Mahama is not. After the balloting, Bawumia is number one, followed by Augustus, Akua Donkor, Osofo Kyiri Abosom, Kofi Akpaloo, and others, before you get to Mahama at number eight.

"I have seen NDC supporters promoting the number eight with various slogans, while NPP supporters claim Bawumia's number one position signifies his victory. I can confidently say that Dr. Bawumia is in a safe position, while Mahama is not," he said in Twi during an Instagram live session.

The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) conducted a balloting to determine the positions of various political parties on the ballot paper ahead of the elections.

Dr. Bawumia secured the number one position, while John Mahama was placed eighth.

Reactions to the balloting have been mixed, with some believing it will impact the elections, while others are skeptical.
