A recently resurfaced video featuring former Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama has sparked interest as it reveals a surprising personal connection between himself and his political rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
In the throwback footage, Mahama discloses that his father and Dr. Bawumia’s father were close friends, adding a layer of complexity to the current political landscape as both men prepare to face off in the upcoming December general elections for Ghana’s presidency.
Mahama elaborates in the video that both fathers attended Tamale Secondary School, establishing a long-standing connection between the families. In a remarkable coincidence, Mahama mentions that both men had 19 children each, further underlining the parallels between their family structures.
The former president also reveals that the two families lived in close proximity, referring to each other as neighbors, which facilitated frequent interactions. Mahama goes on to share that while he and Bawumia knew each other in their youth, he was actually closer to Bawumia’s elder brothers.
This revelation provides a fascinating glimpse into the intertwined personal histories of two of Ghana’s most prominent political figures, adding a human dimension to their current rivalry.
As the video circulates online, it prompts reflection on how personal relationships and shared backgrounds can intersect with political careers in unexpected ways.
