Campaign Spokesperson and Special Aide to National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has responded sharply to the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) claims about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s potential victory in the upcoming December elections.

Addressing statements made by First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joseph Osei Owusu, who asserted that polls show Bawumia leading, Bawah urged the NPP to “tickle yourself and laugh,” suggesting their confidence may be misplaced.In a post on X on Monday, November 4, Bawah declared that John Dramani Mahama is set to win the election, emphasizing that the NPP’s assertions reflect a disconnect with the realities facing Ghanaians.

"The NPP's strategy in this election seems to be 'tickle yourself and laugh.' If not, why would their party's leading figures be on a deliberate self-serving run across the country, spreading inaccurate and fake research outcomes to tickle themselves and their followers?" she questioned.

She noted that the sentiments of the electorate do not align with claims of Bawumia’s popularity and suggested that the NPP’s self-assuredness might lead them to a surprising outcome on election day, with them “laughing at the wrong side of their mouth.”"Here are the facts, and they shall remain so: Bawumia has trailed Mahama in every credible research study since 2022, including the two by the NIB.

The NDC also leads the NPP by a meaningful number of seats in Parliament. In fact, according to the NPP’s own research findings, seats like Atwima Mponua, Offinso North, and Dome are difficult for the NPP to win," she posted, underscoring her confidence in the NDC’s standing in the upcoming elections.

Bawah highlighted the importance of listening to the voices of Ghanaians, who she believes are increasingly disillusioned with the current administration and its policies, and expressed her belief that Mahama’s path to the presidency is secure.
