Election 2024: You’re untruthful if you vote for Bawumia – St. Sark urges Ghanaians to elect Mahama
So whoever has decided to go ahead and vote for Bawumia is untruthful because Bawumia himself said the economy bears witness to the competence of the government.

He has learned from his mistakes and has drawn his lessons,” St. Sark added. According to Apostle Nkansah-Sarkodie, he accurately predicted a win for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia in the 2020 election and has received the mandate to prophesy a defeat for Dr. Bawumia in the upcoming polls.
