During their respective campaign tours in Kasoa, John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd, in stark contrast to the relatively low turnout for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The noticeable difference in crowd sizes has sparked discussions among Ghanaians, with many attributing the lukewarm reception for Dr. Bawumia to the prevailing economic hardships in the country.
Observers suggest that the current economic challenges have significantly impacted public sentiment, leading to a less favorable reception for Dr. Bawumia, who is seen as a key figure in the current administration. The low turnout in Kasoa is being interpreted by some as a sign of growing dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of the economy.
As the election approaches, many believe that John Mahama holds a significant advantage over Dr. Bawumia, bolstered by the apparent support he received in Kasoa. This reception is seen as a potential indicator of broader electoral trends, with Mahama’s popularity possibly giving him an edge in the upcoming elections.
