In an unexpected twist that has left many Ghanaians puzzled, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, widely known as Napo, made a statement during an NPP campaign rally that appeared to endorse the opposition candidate, former President John Dramani Mahama.
The unusual incident has since become the talk of the town, with social media buzzing and political analysts weighing in on the implications of the gaffe.
While addressing supporters during a campaign stop, Napo, who is the running mate of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ticket, surprised attendees when he urged them to support both the NPP parliamentary candidate for the area, Mr. Robbert, and John Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“Support both Robbert and Mahama!” he declared, holding the hand of Mr. Robbert as the crowd looked on in astonishment.
The statement left many wondering whether it was a slip of the tongue or a deliberate yet ill-conceived joke. Either way, the remark has triggered widespread reactions, with some mocking the moment and others expressing dismay at what they see as a blunder.
Videos of the incident have gone viral online, fueling debates among supporters of both major political parties. NDC sympathizers have celebrated the moment as a tacit acknowledgment of Mahama’s popularity, while NPP supporters have been left scrambling for explanations.
As of now, neither Napo nor the NPP has officially commented on the incident. However, the party is expected to address the issue soon, as it threatens to derail their campaign narrative ahead of the upcoming elections.
Observers believe this moment, whether intentional or not, could have significant implications for the political landscape as the election draws near.
