“You Will Hear by Midnight of December 7 That NPP Has Won” — Bawumia Speaks, Ghanaians React

According to a report by GhanaWeb on Sunday October 25, 2026, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has said Ghanaians will hear by midnight of 7th December that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has won the election.

The statement was shared on GhanaWeb’s Facebook page and quickly drew attention. Within an hour, the post had gathered more than 760 reactions and 12 shares. Many Ghanaians also left comments, and opinions were sharply divided.

Supporters of the party welcomed the statement with optimism. One commenter said it would surely happen. Another said it was possible with God. Others described Dr. Bawumia as the incoming president and said the party was ready to win.

Critics, however, were not convinced. Some described the statement as wishful thinking and a daydream. One commenter recalled that similar claims were made in 2024, and asked what Ghanaians eventually saw. Another user said the NPP’s hopes would end when the person woke up from the dream.

Others reacted with humour. Some noted that Dr. Bawumia did not mention a year, and joked that he could be referring to 2060, 2062 or even 2099. One of these comments attracted about 40 likes. A few users also asked which election he was talking about, since the statement did not say whether it referred to a presidential election or party executive elections.

Some commenters mentioned the NDC in their reactions, and a few expressed the hope that the NPP would not return to power.

The comments show how deeply Ghanaians are interested in political matters. They also show how quickly social media turns a single statement into a national debate.

As of the time of this report, Dr. Bawumia had not clarified the exact election he was referring to. Ghanaians will continue to watch closely as the political season develops.
