Member of Parliament(MP) for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, has described Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the most prominent political figure in Ghana after President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Sammi Awuku argued that Dr. Bawumia remains the most popular political face among Ghanaians who participated in the 2024 elections, even as the voters’ register is expected to be updated.
“Ghanaians who voted in 2024 know that after President Mahama, the most popular political face is Dr. Bawumia,” Awuku stated.
He rejected claims that Dr. Bawumia was a weak candidate, insisting that the former Vice President ran a solid and effective campaign.
“If someone tells me Bawumia was not a good candidate, I ask myself what more he should have done. He ran a very good campaign,” he said.
Awuku also dismissed assertions that Dr. Bawumia only performed well in the Effutu Municipality, describing such claims as misleading. According to him, Dr. Bawumia won in several polling centres across the country, including Takoradi Arabic School and other Zongo communities during the 2024 presidential election.
“It is false that he did not win any zone apart from Effutu. He won in Takoradi Arabic School and other Zongo areas. He won in several centres,” he emphasised.
The Akuapem North MP stressed that Dr. Bawumia should be assessed based on his character and policy ideas rather than electoral propaganda.
