Following
the
passing
of
Akua
Donkor,
the
flagbearer
of
the
Ghana
Freedom
Party
(GFP),
a
wave
of
speculation
has
emerged
online
about
how
her
death
might
impact
the
ballot
placements
of
Ghana’s
presidential
candidates.
Many
Ghanaians,
particularly
those
active
on
social
media,
are
concerned
about
whether
her
departure
might
lead
to
last-minute
changes
in
candidate
positions.
This
interest
is
especially
high
since
some
political
campaign
content
has
used
these
positions
for
branding
and
meme
strategies.

Well,
Akua
Donkor’s
passing
will
not
alter
ballot
arrangements
because
the
EC
has
already
started
printing
the
ballot
papers.
Days
ago,
the
EC
emphasized
that
printing
has
already
begun,
therefore
all
candidates
will
maintain
their
assigned
slots,
as
any
changes
would
be
logistically
challenging
and
expensive.
The
idea
of
ballot
position
changes
has
gained
traction
due
to
recent
remarks
by
NPP’s
Ashanti
Regional
Chairman,
Bernard
Antwi
Boasiako,
popularly
known
as
Chairman
Wontumi.
Weeks
ago,
Wontumi
threatened
that
he
would
move
John
Mahama
from
No.
8
to
either
6
or
7
to
show
his
power.
