Ola Michael, a filmmaker and entertainment critic, has warned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) against running Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as their presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
While the national leadership and administration appear intent on making Dr. Bawumia the NPP’s flagbearer, Ola Michael believes the vice president has little chance of winning the 2024 presidential election.
“They will do everything to make Bawumia the (flagbearer), but I am telling them that if all of Ghana’s money is put behind Bawumia to run, he will not win in 2024.”
“We’re all in this country, and we’ll see what happens.” In our country, Bawumia will never be elected. He’ll retire after this,” he said on MzGee’s Saturday, September 9, 2023, edition of United Showbiz on UTV.
The NPP has selected November 4, 2023, as the date for electing a flagbearer for the 2024 presidential election.
However, there have been allegations that the government and the party’s leadership conspired to impose Dr. Bawumia on the party.
Alan Kyerematen, one of the main candidates in the flagbearer campaign, announced his resignation from the race last week, claiming threats and assaults on his supporters as well as attempts to sway the election in favor of one candidate.
