At a rally in the Ahafo Region, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP’s flagbearer, took the stage with a message aimed squarely at his main rival, former President John Dramani Mahama. Bawumia didn’t mince words, warning Mahama that throwing around insults won’t be enough to clinch victory in the upcoming December 7 elections.

“Insults do not win votes,” Bawumia declared, addressing what he sees as Mahama’s shift toward personal attacks. Recently, Mahama’s criticisms have zeroed in on Bawumia’s economic policies, claiming he’s “running away from the economy.” Mahama even borrowed Bill Clinton’s famous line, saying, “It’s about the economy, stupid!”, a jab that followed Bawumia’s own list of 50 pointed questions aimed at Mahama, who had initially posed five questions on the economy. Critics have noted that Mahama’s tone is particularly sharp, a surprising approach for a former president.

Undeterred, Bawumia doubled down on his confidence in the NPP’s record, arguing that the numbers speak for themselves. “Many people can see what’s coming, and some are afraid,” he told the crowd. “They are afraid because they are about to lose this general election. So, have you noticed the insults have started?” He didn’t stop there, pulling out a proverb: “There’s an Akan proverb that says, ‘You cannot buy a horse by talking too long.’ I’ll add that you cannot buy a horse with insults, either. Isn’t that so? You can insult us all you want, but it will be in vain. You will still lose the election. All indications point to that.”
