Money Cannot Buy Ghana’s Votes in 2028 – Why Bawumia Will Win Despite CSO Tricks

Political commentator Safiu Fambali has cautioned Ghanaians against allowing wealthy individuals, business interests and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to influence their voting decisions through financial inducements and public campaigns.

In a recent social media post, Fambali argued that although money and influential organisations can play significant roles in election campaigns, their resources do not necessarily determine the outcome of an election. He maintained that voters ultimately have the power to decide who wins at the polls.

To support his argument, he referred to the United States midterm elections, citing reported campaign spending by wealthy individuals and organisations that backed Republican candidates. He mentioned Elon Musk, whom he claimed spent close to $445 million in an effort to influence votes in one state.

Fambali also cited Fox News reports about Club for Growth, which he said spent $175 million supporting Republicans, and Americans for Prosperity Action, which reportedly committed $20 million to its campaign in Michigan. He used the examples to argue that substantial campaign expenditure does not guarantee electoral success.

Turning his attention to Ghana, Fambali warned organisations and CSOs against assuming that financial support or political alliances could automatically secure public backing. He also accused some groups of serving partisan interests, including what he described as organisations allegedly doing the bidding of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He further criticised what he called transactional pollsters and compromised political analysts, predicting that their positions would be challenged when voters cast their ballots.

Looking ahead to Ghana’s December 7, 2028 general election, Fambali expressed confidence that voters would support former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. His prediction reflects his personal political position rather than an established indication of the election outcome.

He concluded by clarifying that his comments were not intended as an attack on the Republican Party or a claim that Bawumia welcomed the outcome of the US elections. Instead, he said his central argument was that financial resources cannot always determine voters’ choices.
