In a surprising turn of events, NPP parliamentary candidate for Wa Central, Hajia Humu Awudu, displayed a banner featuring herself alongside former President John Dramani Mahama during a recent constituency walk. This public alignment with Mahama, the NDC’s presidential candidate, has sparked widespread criticism and raised questions about her loyalty to the NPP and its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The banner, boldly showcasing Mahama and Humu Awudu with the words “Perfect Combination for Upper West Region,” was held high as supporters paraded through Wa Central. This act has been condemned by political observers as a “betrayal” and an admission of the NPP’s failure to deliver on its promises to the people.
“Hajia Humu’s actions speak volumes,” an NDC spokesperson stated. “By aligning with Mahama, she’s acknowledging the failure of her own party’s leadership. Even NPP candidates are beginning to realize that only the NDC can bring real change and hope to Ghanaians.”
The NPP has faced criticism nationwide for the economic hardships and growing discontent under their administration. In Wa Central, where frustrations are high, Hajia Humu’s apparent endorsement of Mahama has fueled discussions about the NPP’s weakening hold in the region.
“If an NPP candidate cannot stand behind her own flagbearer, how can she expect the people to trust her? This move highlights the desperation within the NPP,” the spokesperson added.
The display of the banner has been interpreted as a symbolic shift in allegiance and a significant boost to the NDC’s campaign in the Upper West Region. As Ghanaians prepare for the upcoming elections, this act by Hajia Humu is seen as a sign that even within the NPP, confidence in their leadership is waning.
Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, the MP for Wa Central and a key figure in the NDC, continues to be a prominent voice for the people of the region. His leadership has been marked by significant achievements. Pelpuo has also worked tirelessly to improve education and infrastructure, ensuring that the people of Wa Central see tangible benefits from his leadership. His dedication to public service, alongside Mahama’s vision, is seen as the way forward for the Upper West Region and Ghana as a whole.
With Ghanaians yearning for genuine change, the NDC’s John Mahama continues to gain traction as the preferred candidate to lead the country back to stability and growth.
