Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for Dr. Bawumia’s 2024 Campaign Team, has revealed that the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) overwhelming defeat in the elections took a toll on his health.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen show on Monday, February 10, Mr. Aboagye addressed the party’s loss and its aftermath.
His remarks come months after former President John Dramani Mahama was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election by Ghana’s Electoral Commission, securing approximately 56.55% of the votes against incumbent Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who received around 41.61%.
Following the election, Mr. Aboagye, known for his outspoken nature, went silent—a development that sparked widespread reactions online. Explaining his absence, he admitted that the stress of the NPP’s defeat had significantly affected his well-being.
“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.
After the election, where the NPP suffered a major loss to the NDC, Mr. Aboagye admitted that it was a difficult time, particularly in handling stakeholders and addressing the concerns of 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.
