While addressing the crowd, Napo mistakenly urged Ghanaians to support “John Dramani Mahama” instead of his party's flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia.In a moment of confusion, Napo was seen holding the hand of Mr. Robbert, the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency, as he repeated his plea to support Mahama.

Realizing his error after a brief clarification, Napo quickly corrected himself, stating that he had intended to mention Bawumia’s name rather than Mahama’s.The slip of the tongue has drawn attention across the political spectrum, with the NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, seizing the opportunity to mock his opponents.

Speaking during a youth engagement event in the Volta Region, Mahama referenced President Nana Akufo-Addo’s recent verbal blunder, where the president mistakenly mentioned "Akufo-Addo-Mahama administration" while listing his government’s achievements.Quoting scripture, Mahama humorously remarked, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

So when the president is talking about his administration and he says 'Akufo-Addo-Mahama administration,' oh, this is unpardonable. It means he dreamt about me the night before!"Mahama's lighthearted comments sparked laughter and cheers from the crowd, as he suggested that these frequent slips of the tongue from NPP leaders signaled an unusual preoccupation with him.
