The people who made dumsor a campaign message are today afraid of it being a campaign topic - MP

The Member of Parliament for South Dayi has asserted that the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government has decided not to admit that the days of erratic power supply (dumsor) are back because it knows it would affect its fortunes in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking in an interview on GhanaWeb TV’s The Lowdown, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor said that the NPP championed the word 'dumsor' when the country was facing power supply challenges during the government of John Dramani Mahama but today they are running away from the word.

He said that because of the NPP, the word 'dumsor' became so popular that it was entered into Wikipedia for the world to know what it means.

“The game is over but the score is remembered… The people who made dumsor a campaign message, today are afraid of dumsor being a campaign topic.

“Nobody is saying there is dumsor, it is the nature in which the lights are flicking off and on. When JM was in power, we could have said there was no dumsor conveniently but the reality was that we had instability in the supply of power.”

He added, “It was hyped so much so that dumsor found its way to Wikipedia. Today, if you google dumsor, google is able to tell you what it means in respect to Ghana. The people who did that are afraid of being measured to the same standards.”
