| Booker Rising is glad Mr. Bawumia made it out alive |
Mahamudu Bawumia is a name known to regular Booker Rising readers. You're also aware that the Ghana's center-right is challenging the results of last November's elections before the country's Supreme Court. Mr. Bawumia was in a nasty car accident over the weekend, but he's OK. However, the center-right New Patriotic Party asserts that it was no accident. From Joy Online (Ghana): "Whilst
Dr Bawumia is yet to recover from the shock and injuries from the
accident, party executives claim they have cause to believe the accident
was part of a 'diabolic' plot by the [ruling center-left party] NDC to assassinate the NPP vice
presidential candidate who is one of the petitioners challenging the
verdict of the 2012 General elections."
More: "The General Secretary of the party, Kwadwo
Owusu Afriyie told Joy News’ Elton John Brobbey shortly before an
official press conference that national security officials are behind
the plot to assassinate Dr Bawumia and other leading members of the NPP. He suspects the security officials had tampered with the tires of a brand new vehicle on which Dr Bawumia was travelling."
