Politics of Monday, 9 February 2026Source: ghanaiantimes.com.ghThe Kontihene of Akyem Asuom, Nana Boadi Amponim Obodade III, says former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia could win the 2028 general elections if the performance of the current government becomes worse than that of the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. According to him, Dr Bawumia’s chances of returning to power would improve only if key economic indicators deteriorate beyond previous levels. He mentioned interest rates, stating that if rates rise above the levels recorded under the previous administration, people may begin to compare governments and reconsider their choices. Nana Obodade III further pointed to the debt-to-GDP ratio, noting that if it exceeds the levels inherited by the current government, it could weaken public confidence. He argued that only if similar or worse governance issues emerge under the current government would voters consider returning the former Vice President to power.
