Efia Odo declares Bawumia as Ghana’s next president, sparks social media debate

Ghanaian socialite and actress Efia Odo has stirred controversy online after boldly predicting the outcome of Ghana’s upcoming presidential election.

In a tweet shared on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, “The next President of Ghana is Bawumia. Bookmark this tweet, give praises to God after the election. It is the doing of the Lord.”

Efia Odo’s statement has ignited intense conversations on social media, with many debating her proclamation amidst the heightened political atmosphere.

In a follow-up post, she clarified her stance, stating, “I didn’t say I’m voting for Bawumia; I said he’s winning the election. Even if I tweeted Mahama or Cheddar is winning, you would’ve said I’ve taken a bribe.”

Her comments come just days to the polls on December 7. Special voting was held yesterday to accommodate election officials, media personnel, and security officers, adding to the anticipation surrounding the main election day.

While Efia Odo has previously refrained from overt political endorsements, her recent comments have positioned her at the centre of a national conversation about Ghana’s future leadership.
