Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The 2024 Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has rejected claims that his religion and ethnicity were to blame for the party’s loss in the general election.
According to him, analysis of the data reveals that, though a Muslim candidate, he outperformed the party’s Christian parliamentary candidates even in Christian-dominated constituencies.
Addressing party supporters at the party headquarters, Dr. Bawumia explained that his analysis of the election data and results of other research suggests that the claims were nothing but propaganda.
“If you look at it, we were ten (10) contestants that went for the primaries. I was one muslim, nine Christians, but the NPP voted for the muslim presidential candidate. So that could not be the case. I decided to do some data analysis to test this hypothesis.
“The data is very clear. In many constituencies across the country, the NPP presidential candidate performed better than the Christian parliamentary candidates. So it couldn’t be if they were voting because of religion, I shouldn’t be performing better than the Christian parliamentary candidates,” he said.
