EPISODE 1
Every political season brings its own terms, jargons and scenarios in anticipation to explain issues to the electorates. Such is the situation we are experiencing in 2024 election season.
Dr. Bawumia, the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that he is the driver’s mate and for that matter major policies are not taken by him. He postulates that giving the opportunity to sit by the steering wheel as the main driver, he will drive Ghana to the Promised Land.
In a sharp contrast, supporters of former president John Mahama and the NDC party see it otherwise. They are of the view that the vice president Bawumia is rather a spare driver and not the driver’s mate. They further postulate that John Dramani Mahama was a spare driver who aided president Atta Mills to execute his vision.
In this article, l will attempt to breake this into episodes for easy understanding of the issue at stake. This analogy by the two political parties will be analyzed critically to see who is making the best judgement and which of the two should Ghana accept.
Ghana and its citizens are now personified as being the car owner. If that is so then the judgement of Ghanaians will determine who wins this year’s elections.
