The Director of Communications for the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has expressed deep concern over the emotional toll the election defeat has had on many Ghanaians.
“What worried me most was the millions of Ghanaians who had hope in us, and now, seeing their pain after the loss is something that deeply troubles me,” he said in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.
Mr. Aboagye stated that, as a politician, losing is part of the game, but the emotional strain on supporters has been overwhelming.
“Some people fell ill due to the election defeat. I know of people who are still worried and in pain about the loss. Some have even called me just to cry over the NPP’s defeat, and to me, that is worrying,” he added.
He noted that the emotional impact of the loss has been profound.
“People are harbouring fear, and it’s clear that some fear the consequences of the next four years. Many have experienced this government before and are fearful of what the future holds,” Mr. Aboagye said.
Reflecting on the aftermath of the election, which saw a significant defeat for the NPP against the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Aboagye described it as a challenging period, especially when managing stakeholders and concerned citizens.
“It’s been a difficult time, managing all the stakeholders and people worried about the future. But we have to move on. While we are still alive, there is still hope, and I truly believe the NPP will come back stronger,” he noted.
After the elections, Mr. Aboagye had been silent for months due to the stress, admitting, “I was so stressed by the outcome that I fell ill after the elections. But now, I’m back stronger and ready to continue the work ahead.”
