Celebrities like Nana Aba Anamoah and Diana Asamoah are under fire for publicly endorsing the NPP following its defeat in the 2024 election.
A number of celebrities who openly supported the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on social media experienced harsh criticism following the party’s defeat in the 2024 Ghanaian elections.
Their aggressive support of the NPP and its leader, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, was the source of the criticism.
Below is a thorough analysis of the situations involving important individuals:
Nana Aba Anamoah
During the election season, Nana Aba, who is well-known for being outspoken, came under fire for what was seen as her partiality for the NPP. She was accused by social media users of using her position to quietly sway public opinion in favor of the ruling party.
Diana Asamoah
The gospel singer’s steadfast backing of the NPP led to a major internet roasting. After the party’s defeat, she became a prime target for criticism since her endorsements were seen as being too passionate.
Efia Odo
Declaring that it was her “prayer” for Ghana to prosper under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership, the socialite and influencer had openly predicted his victory. When the NPP lost, her remarks, particularly on X (previously Twitter), sparked significant mockery. She claimed that she was biased or that she was compensated for her recommendations.
Agya Koo
The seasoned actor, who was a strong NPP supporter, came under fire for his aggressive campaigning, especially for supporting Kennedy Agyapong in the NPP primaries. His steadfast devotion even after the party’s defeat was ridiculed by critics.
Prince David Osei
The actor, who was well-known for his political ambitions and outspoken support of the NPP, received harsh criticism for his involvement in the campaign. He was frequently accused of joining the party for selfish reasons, and his political aspirations became the subject of mockery.
Kwadwo Sheldon
Sheldon, a well-known online influencer, was criticized for his pro-NPP remarks during the election season. Many of his supporters abandoned him, claiming that his support for the ruling party had damaged his reputation.
King Paluta
The rapper also found himself on the receiving end of social media anger for his alignment with the NPP. Fans felt disappointed, as his involvement was seen as an endorsement of policies many believed had failed.
