Kwaku Manu Claims Bawumia Pandering To Religions Outside Islam Lost Him The Elections

• Kwaku Manu believes Mahamudu Bawumia's pandering to religions outside Islam contributed to his election loss
• The actor said that the Vice President was a Muslim but did not hesitate to visit churches and shrines for prayers
• He stated that Muslims were very loyal to their religion and Bawumia's actions would tempt them not to vote for him

Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has said that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's attempts to appeal to religious groups outside Islam contributed to his loss in the 2024 elections.

Kwaku Manu stated that Bawumia, a Muslim, made moves that may have upset his Muslim supporters, leading to his defeat.

The outgoing Vice President, in his campaign, visited churches and a traditional shrine for prayers. Kwaku Manu specifically mentioned Bawumia’s visits to the shrine of the wulomo, a traditional priest, and his visit to Adom Kyei Duah's church.

The actor said he believed that these actions were a mistake and that had he been in Bawumia’s shoes, he would have refrained from making such moves.

According to Kwaku Manu, Muslims are very loyal to their religion, and Bawumia’s outreach to other religious groups might have caused some Muslim voters to feel disconnected from him.

The actor suggested that this could have led them to support John Mahama, who won the 2024 election by a large margin.
