Bawumia’s early call: A speed Bump in Ghana’s Election Results

 

The former Tamale central MP , Inusah Fuseni has blamed Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s early concession in the 2024 general election for the widespread failure to complete the collation of parliamentary results. He argued that the New patriotic party (NPP) flagbearer’s premature congratulatory message to the National Democratic Congress(NDC) John Dramani Mahama disrupted the electoral commission’s (EC) collation process leading to apathy and confusion at many centers speaking on citi tv’s The Big Issue on Saturday 12 July 2025 , Mr fuseni noted that at the time of Dr Bawumia’s concession, the EC was still collating both presidential and parliamentary results nationwide, his action rendered activities at the collation centers moot. Nobody paid attention to the parliamentary results again, he said adding that the move directly affected constituencies like Ablekuma North where a rerun was held in 19 polling stations on 11 July 2025 .Mr fuseni further pointed to other affected constituencies including tema central, okaikwei central, Akwatia, and Nsawam Adoagyri where parliamentary results were only resolved through court ordered recounts and collation 

Now let analyze

 Inusah Fuseni , a former TAMALE Central MP ,spoke on Citi TV The Big Issue about the 2024 election and Bawumia's early concession .The image ,however shows Inusah Fuseni on Joynews channel instead of Citi TV where Inusah Fuseni actually spoke 

The image evokes seriousness due to the political nature of the topic , evokes concern about the potential impact of Bawumia's early concession and also confusion due to the mismatch between the image and the actual context

The image appears to be error rather than manipulation .it's essential to ensure accuracy in representation

The composition is affected negatively due to the inconsistency , potentially causing confusion and undermining credibility 

The image don't add depth due to the error ,but it still represents Inusah Fuseni's involvement in the disscusion 

YES an image showing Inusah Fuseni speaking on Citi TV like the second image would clarify the context , enhance credibility and provide a more accurate representation 

The image is distinct due to the inconsistency .ideally ,it show Citi TV for accuracy and credibility 

The topic is significant in GHANA'S political landscape , highlighting 

1 The importance of accurate representation in media

2 The potential impact of potential decisions on the electoral process

To ensure clarity and credibility , it's essential to use accurate images that match the context
