Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, a religious scholar and NPP First National Vice Chairman aspirant, dismissed claims that Dr Bawumia's presidential ambitions seek to turn Ghana into an Islamic state, citing voting patterns of Ghanaian Muslims in the 2024 election that showed religious affiliation did not determine their political choices. He argued that if a coordinated Muslim agenda to Islamise Ghana existed, Bawumia's 2024 candidacy would have catalysed Muslim support, but Muslims instead voted for Christian President Mahama in several Muslim-majority constituencies.
