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

My Journey with Introduction to New Media lecture My journey to introduction to New Media lecture is exceptional .I have just wrapped up the “Introduction to New Media” class and wanted to share three key things that blew my mind and how they have shifted the way I see and use new media. 1. Content Creation & Audience Engagement– I learned that new media is not just about posting stuff online; it is about crafting messages that spark interaction. Understanding algorithms and audience analytics helps me tailor content that actually gets noticed and drives conversations. 2. Digital Storytelling Techniques– The course showed me how to blend text, video, and interactivity into compelling narratives. I now think of stories as immersive experiences, not just written articles, which makes my projects more engaging and impactful. 3. New Media Ethics & Responsibility– We dug into issues like misinformation, privacy, and digital footprints. This awareness makes me more cautious and ethical in what I share and has pushed me to promote media literacy among my peers. How This Changed My Perception & Use of New Media These lessons flipped my view from seeing new media as just a tool to recognizing it as a powerful platform for shaping opinions and communities. I now approach every post with a strategic mindset: focusing on engagement, crafting multimedia stories, and being ethically responsible. This has improved my personal branding and made me more critical of the content I consume.
