Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum hints at 2028 presidential run with cryptic post

Former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has sparked speculation about running for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) presidential nomination in 2028.

A now-deleted social media post fueled discussions about his candidacy. Many interpreted it as a hint of his intentions.

The post included stirring words: “In the silence of the noise, One man’s record speaks louder than mere campaign chants. One man’s impact echoes across every region. One man’s vision is what Ghana needs for a total Ghanaian transformation.”

These words reflect Dr. Adutwum’s leadership style. He seems to believe that his achievements and vision resonate more than traditional campaign methods.

While his candidacy is not confirmed, the post encourages Ghanaians to focus on his accomplishments and potential contributions to the nation.

In another development, Frederick Opare-Ansah, campaign manager for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, rejected claims that religion influenced Dr. Bawumia’s election loss.

During an interview on Wontumi Morning Show, he stated that faith was not a key factor in the election outcome.

“A complex array of issues influenced the election outcome,” Opare-Ansah said. “But faith was not decisive.”

He noted that research conducted by Dr. Bawumia disproved claims about religious voting patterns in Ghana.

The findings showed that Ghanaians did not vote based on religion, supported by examples from various constituencies.

For instance, in Sunyani West, a predominantly Christian area, a Muslim candidate from the NDC won the parliamentary seat.

Opare-Ansah believes these examples challenge the notion that religion significantly affected voter behavior.
