Napo Asks Ghanaians To Vote For John Mahama

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, and Vice Presidential candidate to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on Ghanaians to support former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

This unusual plea came during a campaign visit to a constituency where Napo sought to rally support for himself and the New Patriotic Party (NPP). During the event, he raised the hand of Mr. Robert, the NPP’s aspiring parliamentary candidate for the constituency, and surprisingly included Mahama in his endorsement, asking Ghanaians to support both Robert and Mahama.

A Growing Pattern?

This move has sparked widespread discussion, with many questioning the motive behind Napo’s remarks. Interestingly, this is not the first time NPP members have seemingly boosted the profile of their political rival, John Dramani Mahama. Observers are debating whether this was a slip of the tongue or part of a broader political strategy.

Political Reactions

The statement has drawn mixed reactions. Supporters of the NDC see it as a validation of Mahama's leadership, while NPP loyalists are demanding clarity on Napo’s position. Political analysts speculate that such moves could impact voter confidence in the NPP’s unified stance ahead of the elections.
