According to a report by TV3 Ghana on Thursday December 11, 2025, former Vice President and NPP Presidential hopeful Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has come under intense criticism from Ghanaians on social media following his expressed concerns about the state of democratic governance in the country.
Dr. Bawumia recently stated that he was “extremely disappointed with the current state of affairs in our nation,” adding that “it seems our democratic institutions and values are being eroded.” However, his comments have sparked widespread backlash from citizens who questioned his role in the previous administration.
Many Ghanaians expressed frustration with the former Vice President’s remarks, pointing out the irony of his criticism. Social media users did not hold back in their responses.
One commentator humorously remarked about making poor decisions that led to current leadership, while another used the proverb “the pot calling the kettle black” to suggest hypocrisy in his political statements.
Several users raised concerns about democratic practices during the NPP’s time in government. One commenter questioned how judgment in a case involving Afenyo Markin was secured in just one day, asking what type of democracy allows such rapid judicial decisions. Another sarcastically suggested that dissatisfied citizens should “join Ebo ark for standby,” reflecting widespread disillusionment.
The criticism also touched on the NPP’s recent loss in the presidential election and transition to opposition status. Citizens questioned Dr. Bawumia’s current stance, with one user asking if this was the same NPP that just moved to opposition benches after losing the election.
Some commenters advised the former Vice President to address concerns through proper parliamentary channels rather than making public statements. Others suggested that time would provide better understanding of current events, while some dismissed his comments entirely with humor.
The reactions highlight the tension between Dr. Bawumia’s new position as opposition figure and his previous role in government. Many Ghanaians are calling for accountability and questioning the timing of his criticism of democratic institutions.
As the NPP regroups following their electoral defeat, these exchanges underscore the challenges facing the party and its presidential hopeful in rebuilding public trust.
