Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Lawyer Kwesi Nyantakyi, has predicted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will emerge victorious in the December 7 election.

According to Nyantakyi, Dr. Bawumia will win the election in the first round with a minimum of 50.8% or a maximum of 51.8%, based on science and data.

Speaking on the Ghana Se Sen Morning Show on Lawson TV/Radio on Thursday, December 5, 2024 he stated that since the 2000 election, no presidential candidate has won Ghana’s general election in the first round, and therefore, Dr. Bawumia is poised to make history.

He emphatically stated that the Saturday, December 7 election will be a battle between two Northerners: Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and John Dramani Mahama.

He said that Dr. Bawumia has the massive support of Northern voters, and they will vote overwhelmingly for him.

“This election’s dynamic is that both presidential candidates are Northerners. Whether we like it or not, the next president will be a Northerner. Bawumia belongs to the Mole-Dagbani ethnic group, which is the largest ethnic group in the North. The Mamprusi people are Mole-Dagbani, the Dagombas are Mole-Dagbani, the Frafra people are Mole-Dagbani, the Kuasasi people are Mole-Dagbani, and the Wala people are Mole-Dagbani. On the other hand, Mahama comes from the Guan ethnic group,” he said

“In the North, one might hear someone say that the only descendant of Naa-Gbewa is Mahamudu Bawumia. Naa-Gbewa is the great-grandfather of the Nanumbas, Mamprusis, Kusasis, and Walas. This means that the dominance of the NDC in the Northern Region is going to shift. While the NDC has had massive support in the Muslim and Northern communities, this has now reduced. If Bawumia wins this election, the power balance in the Northern and Muslim communities will change completely in 2028. The NDC’s stronghold is shaken, so I would not be surprised if Bawumia wins with one touch, perhaps with an even higher percentage.”
