Ghanaian photographers, Twinsdontbeg, have committed to using their photography talents to support the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming elections.

They expressed this intention during an appearance on The Career Trail program on JoyPrime.

The duo shared that their political interest began at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) when they backed Henry Nana Boakye, the current NPP Organizer, during his Student Representative Council (SRC) presidential campaign.

Although he didn’t win the election, Twinsdontbeg stayed engaged in politics and other campus activities, building a network with individuals who have since risen in Ghana’s political landscape.

Among their connections is Fatimatu Abubakar, now the Deputy Minister for Information, who introduced them to Second Lady Samira Bawumia, eventually making them her official photographers.

“Our commitment to entertainment, fashion, politics, showbiz, end us where we are today. We met Fati Abubakar at the university, and after we started photography after university, she was part of the national politics at that time. She is the one that introduced us to H.E. Samira Bawumia,” she elaborated.

They mentioned that the communication team of Kenya’s First Lady, Mama Rachel Ruto, drew inspiration from Samira Bawumia’s social media strategy and visuals, which played a role in their election success.

“When the Kenyan First Lady, they won the elections, Mama Ruto. Her communication team were directed to use Samira Bawumia’s social media and images as a way to also promote her. So we were in Nairobi for a climate conference and I was sitting with her team.

“And they didn’t know I was the one behind the images. So they were just saying that, after they won the elections, they used Samira Bawumia’s branding and images as a way to also learn and use it for the First Lady of Kenya,” they further explained.

With confidence in their approach, they further mentioned that “We are going to use photography to win the next elections for NPP.”
