The Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Yohane Amarh Ashitey, has said that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s victory in the 2024 presidential elections is a foregone conclusion and that the 7th December poll will just be a matter of Ghana going through the motions to satisfy due process.

According to him, the victory is for the betterment of Ghana in all respects, from development to reputation.

“It is simple, the world is now in a digital revolution and nations which want to keep up to pace must digitalize. Dr. Bawumia is already driving the digital agenda and that is why his first-round victory will be for a better Ghana,” Yohane Amarh Ashitey wrote.

The hardworking Tema MCE made this known in a post on social media on Wednesday, June 19, 2024.

The statement comes in the wake of new polls that suggest that Dr. Bawumia has overtaken former President John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress, in a voter appeal.

According to the survey by Professor Smart Sarpong of the Kumasi Technical University, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is the front-runner in the race for the 2024 presidential election in Ghana.

The findings show Dr Bawumia leads as the preferred candidate with 38.9% of support, closely trailed by John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at 36.1 percent.

In his post, Yohane Amarh Ashitey did not reference the survey but said that the current trends in as far as the acceptance of candidates’ messages are concerned indicate clearly that Dr. Bawumia speaks more to the desires of the ordinary Ghanaians.

“Now, increasingly, Ghanaians are asking what the 24-hour economy is and from where I sit, the NDC have only struggled to explain it.

In contrast, Dr. Bawumia’s over 20-point agenda which he recently unveiled has only inspired hope.”

According to the Tema MCE, the election will be a one-touch victory for Dr. Bawumia.

“Those using poll findings as basis to say that there will be a run-off are only setting themselves up for surprise because now that Dr. Bawumia has levelled up in popularity with Mahama, the next developments will be that he will totally over take Mr. John Mahama, especially when he finally unveils his manifesto.”
