Bawumia Vows to Secure Ghana’s AFCON Qualification
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana's Vice President and the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has made yet another bold promise as he campaigns for the upcoming December 7 general elections.
During an interview on Wontumi Radio, Dr. Bawumia pledged to ensure that Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, will qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) next year if he becomes president. This promise adds to the growing list of commitments he has made as part of his bid to secure victory in the elections.
Dr. Bawumia, popularly referred to as the “Digital Man” due to his emphasis on leveraging technology for development, revealed plans to launch an innovative application aimed at supporting the Black Stars’ qualification efforts. According to him, the app would serve as a digital tool to enhance team performance, streamline management, and foster greater engagement with fans and stakeholders.
While the details of how the app would directly impact the team’s qualification remain unclear, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that his leadership would bring a new level of commitment and innovation to Ghanaian football. He expressed confidence in his ability to make a positive impact on the team’s performance, leveraging technology to solve challenges and support the national team’s success.
This latest promise has sparked mixed reactions among Ghanaians. Supporters of Dr. Bawumia see his vision as ambitious and a demonstration of his innovative approach to leadership. They believe that his focus on technology could bring transformative changes not only to football but also to other sectors of national development.
Critics, however, have questioned the practicality of the promise, arguing that football success depends on a combination of factors such as player quality, coaching, and infrastructure, which may not be directly influenced by an app. They view this as another campaign promise that may lack substance and feasibility.
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign has been marked by numerous promises aimed at appealing to diverse segments of the population. From digital initiatives to economic reforms, his message has been centered on using technology to address Ghana’s challenges and propel the nation toward development.
As the elections draw closer, promises like these will continue to be scrutinized by the public, who are eager to see how they translate into actionable plans. Whether or not his pledge resonates with voters remains to be seen.
