Sonnie Badu, a gospel singer and preacher from Ghana, has urged Ghanaians to vote against failed leaders and not to be swayed by gifts ahead of the December 7 elections.
Sonnie Badu asked voters to take the high cost of living into account before casting their ballots on December 7, 2024, in an interview with Accra FM. On election day, he cautioned against being influenced by political presents.
“Don’t let someone deceive you with gari, rice, and yam, so you throw away your precious vote. The only time you have power is now, and it’s shown by politicians visiting and mingling with you in towns and villages as if they can relate to your circumstances; when they get power, they will never come back.”

In addition, Sonnie Badu urged Ghanaians to vote against politicians who have not succeeded in boosting the nation’s economy.
“If you are happy, vote. If you are not, vote. Consider your circumstances and vote. And vote out leaders who did not help the country when voted into power. I am only sharing my principles.”
His comments capture the mounting growing disappointment of many Ghanaians over the country’s economic woes as voters get ready to cast their votes in the December 7 polls.
