In a surprising turn of events, Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has attributed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s defeat in the 2024 presidential election to his visits to churches and traditional shrines. According to Manu, these actions may have alienated Bawumia’s core Muslim supporters, contributing significantly to his loss.
During his campaign, Dr. Bawumia, a devout Muslim, made several high-profile visits to Christian churches and traditional shrines. These visits included prayers at the shrine of the wulomo, a traditional priest, and at Adom Kyei Duah’s church. Manu believes that these actions were a strategic misstep, suggesting that they might have caused Muslim voters to feel disconnected from Bawumia.
Manu’s claims highlight the deep loyalty of Muslim voters to their religion. He argues that Bawumia’s outreach to other religious groups might have been perceived as a betrayal by his Muslim base, leading them to shift their support to John Mahama, who ultimately won the election with a significant margin.
The final election results, announced by the Electoral Commission on December 9, 2024, showed John Dramani Mahama securing 56.55% of the votes, while Bawumia garnered 41.61%.
Manu’s analysis suggests that Bawumia’s attempts to appeal to a broader religious audience may have backfired, costing him crucial votes from his own community.
