Manasseh Azure Awuni says he takes sides when it comes to politics. The investigative journalist and writer made this clear on Facebook this Monday. He believes being a Ghanaian citizen matters more than staying neutral as a reporter. Awuni thinks journalists should care about who runs their country. He wants people to know he votes and has opinions about leaders.
Awuni would have picked John Dramani Mahama back during the 2012 race if he had been around to vote. But he chose Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo when 2016 came around. That election marked the last time he cast a ballot. He felt Mahama did not earn his support during that second campaign. The journalist thinks Mahama has learned important lessons since losing power.
The reporter wrote about this topic back in 2014. His article explained why he refuses to stay neutral about politics. Awuni fights against unfair treatment through his journalism work. He sides with people who face hardship and expects others to do the same thing. His personal experiences with injustice drive his passion for reporting.
People have criticized Awuni recently for saying Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia represents the best choice for the NPP leadership contest happening January 31, 2026. He stands behind this view and says Bawumia beats other candidates who want to lead the party. Awuni cares about leaders from both major parties since Ghanaians must pick between them during elections. He cannot ignore who might govern Ghana just like he follows American politics.
