The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described the victory of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a shame.
The party’s National Communications Officer described the victory of Dr. Bawumia as a shame because of the percentage he secured in winning the keenly contested primary.
He asserted that although Dr. Bawumia engaged in an unprecedented vote-buying exercise, he only secured 60 percent of the votes.
He described the victory of Dr. Bawumia as a total rejection by his party delegates.
He said the outcome of the primary makes Bawumia the first candidate to have secured 61 percent since the NPP expanded its electoral college in 2010.
He said “It is a big shame that, despite the unprecedented vote-buying and personal phone calls to delegates, a significant number of the NPP delegates totaling 74,236 and constituting a whopping 39% voted against his candidature in the just-ended NPP primary. He was totally rejected in two regions (Central and Volta regions) and over 50 Constituencies of his own party.
This makes him the first NPP flag-bearer to be elected by less than 62% of valid votes cast since the NPP expanded their electoral college in 2010. This is an embarrassing vote of no confidence in his leadership by almost 40% of delegates in his own party.”
He further described him as a pathological liar who does not deserve to be elected president.
“Ghanaians don’t need a President who is a pathological liar with no track-record save his reckless mismanagement of the economy which has rendered our nation bankrupt;
We don’t need the very person who has masterminded and supervised the economic mess and hardships we find ourselves in as President- for “no problem can be solved with the same consciousness that created it” – Albert Einstein;
More importantly, Ghanaians don’t need a puppet as President, whose primary goal is to protect his God father- President Akufo-Addo and his corrupt family, friends and appointees from post-regime accountability.”
