The demeanours of Mahama, who is the opposition National Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate and Bawumia, that of the governing New Patriotic Party, speak volumes about how fierce the election would be.
Well, maybe they were in a mournful mood and exchanging too many pleasantries at the funeral of the former First Lady might have sent a wrong signal to the public, hence they decided to keep their interactions short and serious.
Normally, although they are each other’s critics when they mount their respective political platforms, they show affection and exchange good pleasantries when they meet in person.
While it is Bawumia’s first time attempting to become the substantive president, Mahama is seeking a comeback following his loss to President Akufo-Addo in 2016.
