We the People delegated our sovereign power to the incumbent government at the polls on 7 December 2020. It is, therefore, imperative that the President and his Vice-President, the anointed successor, prove themselves as having provided the most competent leadership during their tenure by transparently accounting to We the People for how they managed our security in the past eight years and still brought the country to the Bawku crisis with nine other violent conflict points in several other regions before the vote on 7 December 2024.

Bawumia needs to move away from the Kamala Harris rhetorical style of campaigning and speak directly to the public on his security and intelligence capabilities and policies that will bring the numerous violent conflicts throughout the country where curfews have been imposed under control and stop the unwarranted and needless killing which the failure of the Government has unleashed on the country within its tenure.

The fact that the acting President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, stands to be a beneficiary of the Bawku Traditional Area crisis precipitated due to the indolence of the Government only two months to the 2024 elections should the registered voters in the six constituencies in the UER be unable to exercise their franchise freely and fairly, comes into focus with his inaction as acting President during the October 2024 conflict period.
