KUMAWU ELECTIONS

There's been is it jokes or sayings that, for development, your MP must die to attract the government's attention for them to bring development to your constituency.

For me I believe those thoughts will disappear sooner or later as Ghanaians wake up and smell the coffee, realizing that politicians will want to take them for a ride whenever possible.

As we await the results from Kumawu, although it's most likely that the NPP candidate will carry the day. The question then is what will be the margin of victory. I saw some information which indicated that from 1996 when the NPP votes were in the 70s and 80%, the votes dwindled to a low of 51% in 2020.

What pundits are closely watching is whether the NPPs vote will increase from the 51% two years ago or if it will remain the same or dip. This is based largely on the performance of the independent candidate, Kweku Duah who gave the party a run for their money resulting in the dip in votes.

As we move towards 2024, Ghanaians will be watching closely the outcome of Kumawu to see if it has any bearings on Election 2024.

God bless our Homeland Ghana and make us great and strong!
