What was meant to be a routine campaign stop turned into an emphatic show of certainty when New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates in the Tema East Constituency virtually excused former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia from campaigning to them, declaring that their decision was already sealed.

Dr Bawumia, who is touring the Greater Accra Region as part of his nationwide campaign, arrived in Tema East on Tuesday expecting to address delegates and party faithful.

Instead, he was met with an extraordinary reception that left no room for persuasion.

Delegates and party members, who had packed the auditorium to capacity, openly prevented the former Vice President from delivering his address, insisting there was no need for speeches where conviction was already firm.

Amid deafening chants of “Bawumia! No Change!” echoing through the hall, the crowd made it clear that their votes were already secured for him.

Even as Dr Bawumia made repeated attempts to speak, the delegates stood their ground, arguing that addressing them would be a waste of valuable campaign time, time better spent elsewhere.

To underline the depth of their resolve, 23 out of the 24 Electoral Area Coordinators in the constituency publicly declared their unflinching support for Dr Bawumia.

They explained that their endorsement reflects the collective decision of polling station executives across the constituency.

In Tema East, the message was unmistakable: the campaign was unnecessary—the choice had already been made.
