In a recent interview with GHOne TV, the Krontihene of Akyem Asoum, Nana Boadi Amponim Abodade III, revealed the depth of Samira Bawumia’s disappointment following her husband’s defeat in the 2024 presidential election.
As the wife of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Samira had envisioned herself as Ghana’s next First Lady, with a strong public presence.
Nana Abodade III described Samira as “desperate for the position,” highlighting her prominent role in the NPP campaign. Her charisma and stylish appearances had frequently taken center stage, setting her apart from previous First Ladies, such as Rebecca Akufo-Addo. Samira’s efforts, according to Nana Abodade III, were driven by her desire to redefine the role of First Lady, leveraging her distinctive sense of fashion and public appeal.
The chief’s words painted a vivid picture of Samira’s ambition: “If the NPP had won, she would have slayed a lot. She will slay aaah Ghanaian ladies all go bore die.” This phrase, though colloquial, conveyed the potential impact of Samira’s style on Ghanaian women. Nana Abodade III’s assessment of Samira’s disappointment was unequivocal: “She is very unhappy.”
This revelation offers a glimpse into the personal stakes of Ghana’s presidential election.
Samira Bawumia’s story serves as a reminder that, behind the political headlines, there are individuals with hopes, dreams, and ambitions that can be profoundly affected by the outcome of an election.
