Social media users troll Gabby over US elections post

A prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has faced criticism on social media after comparing the ongoing US elections to Ghana’s upcoming presidential race.

In a recent post, Gabby drew parallels between the two elections, highlighting the dynamics of the candidates. He pointed out that Vice President Kamala Harris is vying to succeed President Joe Biden, similar to how Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is running for president in the December elections.

Gabby also noted that, like Harris’s opponent, former President Donald Trump, who seeks a return to power, Ghana’s former President John Dramani Mahama is competing to reclaim the presidency under the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Gabby shared a comment from a first-time American voter on CNN, who expressed voting for Kamala Harris, saying, “I voted for change… I voted for Kamala Harris!”

Gabby found this perspective interesting, as the voter viewed Trump’s bid for a second term as a lack of change.

“I just listened to this first-time American voter on CNN live and when she was asked how she voted, she answered, ‘I voted for change… I voted for Kamala Harris!’ For her, Trump, who is seeking a delayed second term, does not represent change! A very interesting perspective,” Gabby wrote on November 5, 2024.

However, the tweet sparked ridicule online, with some mocking Gabby for supporting a “losing” candidate, predicting that Dr. Bawumia’s chances in Ghana’s election would similarly fail. While the results of the US election are not yet official, Trump is currently projected to be the winner.
