A political statement attributed to a woman in a graphic circulating on social media has sparked fresh discussion about Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s chances of winning Ghana’s 2028 presidential election. The graphic carries a striking message: “I have my full support for Bawumia but I know he is never going to win.”
The remark has attracted attention because it appears to express two contrasting positions at once: support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer and doubt about his ability to secure victory in the next general election. However, the original interview or recording behind the graphic has not been independently verified, and the speaker’s identity and full context remain unclear.

Dr Bawumia, a former Vice President, secured the NPP flagbearer position for the 2028 election. His campaign faces the challenge of rebuilding the party’s electoral appeal after its defeat in the 2024 general election, while convincing voters that the NPP can return to power.

The statement also raises a wider political question about the difference between personal loyalty to a candidate and confidence in that candidate’s electoral prospects. In competitive elections, supporters may remain committed to a political figure while expressing concerns about public sentiment, party unity, campaign strategy or the strength of the opposition.
Nevertheless, a social media graphic alone cannot establish how widely such views are held among NPP supporters or the Ghanaian electorate. Assessing Bawumia’s prospects would require reliable polling, constituency-level evidence and broader analysis of voter attitudes as the 2028 election approaches.
The post is credited to Chai Lee Multimedia, according to the supplied graphic. Until the original statement and its circumstances are established, the wording should be treated as a claim attributed to the circulating image rather than a fully verified interview quotation.
With political activity building ahead of the next general election, statements questioning a candidate’s chances are likely to fuel debate within party ranks and among the wider public. Whether the remark reflects a broader sentiment or an individual opinion remains to be seen.
