Man’s Outburst Over Bawumia’s Face on the Ballot Sparks Laughter at Polling Station
At a bustling polling station in the heart of Ghana, a voter became the center of attention when his reaction to seeing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s face on the ballot paper took an unexpected and dramatic turn.
It was a sunny election day, and citizens were lined up, ready to cast their votes. Spirits were high as the electorate discussed their choices and the future of the nation. Amid the crowd, one man, known locally as Kwaku the Carpenter, walked into the polling booth with a sense of purpose.
When it was his turn, Kwaku approached the ballot paper, scanned the list of candidates, and froze. His face contorted with a mix of confusion, frustration, and disbelief. Suddenly, he exclaimed, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Ah! What is Bawumia doing here? I thought he’d be gone by now!”
The startled polling officials tried to calm him, but Kwaku was just warming up. “Everywhere I turn, I see his face—on TV, posters, even my dreams! And now on my ballot paper? Why won’t he leave us alone?!”
The room erupted in laughter, with even the polling officials struggling to maintain their composure. Some voters tried to explain that the ballot paper featured all approved candidates, but Kwaku was not having it.
“No, no, no,” he continued, shaking his head dramatically. “I came here to vote for change, not to be haunted by the same faces. If I mark his box, will he follow me home too?”
The lighthearted moment brought an air of camaraderie to the station as people shared jokes about Kwaku’s animated outburst. One elderly woman chuckled, “If only elections were won by who makes us laugh the most, Kwaku might be our next president!”
Eventually, Kwaku calmed down, cast his vote (for whom, nobody knows), and walked out, muttering about seeing “fewer faces” in the next election.
The incident quickly became the talk of the town, with social media buzzing about “Kwaku and the Haunted Ballot.” While the election outcome remained uncertain, one thing was clear: Kwaku had provided a moment of levity in a tense and historic election.
