Samira Bawumia Almost Attacked as Computerman Counters Malik Basintale

According to reports, former vice president Samira Bawumia had a hair-raising experience at a political engagement in the Bosomtwe constituency, narrowly escaping an assault by a mob of delegates.

Some delegates had voiced their displeasure with party activity and leadership decisions, leading to heightened emotions, according to sources. Witnesses say it was a chaotic situation, and security officers stepped in to protect Bawumia from harm.

Reportedly, the ex-VP kept his cool while addressing the delegates and calling for party unity and dialogue. Computerman has responded to Malik Basintale’s comments about the incident by releasing a counterstatement. Computerman said that Basintale’s story gave an inaccurate depiction of what happened in Bosomtwe and condemned the author for it. This rebuttal highlights how different political analysts and public personalities are becoming increasingly agitated over how the situation has been handled.

According to political scientists, this episode shows how dissatisfied some party members are and how important it is for party leaders to communicate with their constituents on a more personal level. They also point out that unattended conflicts of this kind have the potential to grow into more substantial disagreements that could damage party unity in the run-up to the elections.

The near-attack on social media has been strongly denounced by Samira Bawumia’s supporters, who have urged for peaceful engagement and respect for public leaders. Party insiders, meantime, are supposedly looking into what went wrong to improve engagement and security measures for future events. Reflecting the difficulty of handling high-stakes political events and the ferocity of political discourse in Ghana, the Bosomtwe incident and the continuing exchange between Computerman and Malik Basintale have attracted national attention.
